      In the JDK 1.3 documentation for KeyEvent it does not have any description
      for the VK_UP, VK_DOWN, VK_LEFT, or VK_RIGHT constants. This is very confusing
      if you are searching for the constants for the arrow keys amongst all of the
      numerous KeyEvent constants. It should at least briefly mention that the
      constant refers to that particular arrow key.

        To make things even more confusing it does describe the VK_KP_UP, VK_KP_DOWN,
      VK_KP_LEFT, and VK_KP_RIGHT constants. These constants are not equivalent
      to the ones mentioned above so it would help if it also described how these
      constants are different.
