The ususal alternative method to enter a backslash (ALT - 92 on the numerical
pad) does NOT insert the desired character on German keyboards (A minus sign is
displayed).

This problem occurs with both TextFields and JTextFields.


import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

class ShowKey extends Frame {
    static public void main(String args[]) {
        ShowKey showKey = new ShowKey();
    }
    ShowKey() {
        addWindowListener(new WAdapter());
        TextField tf = new TextField();
        add(tf);
        tf.addKeyListener(new MyKeyAdapter());
        pack();
        show();
    }

    class WAdapter extends WindowAdapter {
        public void windowClosing(WindowEvent event) {
            System.exit(0);
        }
    }

    class MyKeyAdapter extends KeyAdapter {
        public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
            System.out.println(e);
        }
        public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e) {
            System.out.println(e);
        }
        public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {
            System.out.println(e);
        }
    }
}
