| <p>Provides support for bindings between commands and various user input events |
| (e.g., keyboard shortcuts).</p> |
| |
| <h2>Package Specification</h2> |
| <p> |
| This package provides the common classes and abstract classes required to |
| provide binding support. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| All the real work in this package is carried out by the |
| <code>BindingManager</code>, and most work with bindings can be carried out |
| directly with it. The binding manager manages a collection of bindings, and |
| decides which bindings are active at any point in time. By changes the various |
| properties of the manager, the active bindings will change. The binding |
| manager implements a caching scheme that is optimized for an infreqeuntly |
| changing set of bindings, but frequently changing properties. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The binding manager also manages schemes. A scheme is a grouping of bindings. |
| To create a scheme, use <code>BindingManager.getScheme(String)</code>. The |
| scheme must then be defined before it can be used. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| If you wish to implement your own type of binding, then you must subclass |
| <code>Trigger</code> and <code>TriggerSequence</code>. Then, simply use these |
| subclasses with the <code>BindingManager</code>. |
