There is already a defualt button for when you press enter on a JFrame, there shoulqd be a defualt cancel button for when the user presses escape

KeyListener cancelKeyListener=new KeyListener() {
public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {}
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {}
public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e) {if (e.getKeyCode()==27) frame.dispose();}};
addListenerToContainedComponents(frame.getRootPane(),cancelKeyListener);
}
public static void addListenerToContainedComponents(Container componentToAddTo,KeyListener keyListener) {

addListenerToContainedComponents((Container) component, keyListener);
component.addKeyListener(keyListener);
