A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
This would be a more intuitive way to provide hold commands for keypresses that utilize mouse movement.

KeyAdapter Overrided KeyPress function, when parsing and event does not parse the mouse position.
Hence another less intuitive method is required to solve the problem.
The problem is that in a complex program with 3000 lines of code, there may be 3 problems together, which all seem like the same problem, hence figuring out how that works is a very time consuming task.

If it was possible to parse the mouse position with the key press, then it would be more intuitive? But less efficient?

REGRESSION : Last worked in version 16

jf1.setSize(frame_width+16,frame_height+39); //+16,+39 for window sizes

This is an extremely simplified version of the code, the code shows the non intuitive part in keypress which does a very similar thing to the mousedrag. This is obviously very complex inside a much larger program.

1. Run the program
2. Drag the mouse on screen
3. Drag the key on screen
4. Compare the results
5. Look at the code. the part that is unintuitive has parts buried deep within documentation that is very difficult to find, the parts consist of a JFrame that is far away and a MouseInfo.getPointerInfo().getLocation() which is very far away from e.getY()
Figuring out exactly what the problem is when you don't know what the problem is involves a significant amount of reading, and testing very far away from the gui aspect and is immensely difficult and time consuming.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The program works fine now, I'm asking for a feature, there might be a way to add the feature in efficiently and intuitively.
ACTUAL -
The program works fine now, I'm asking for a feature, there might be a way to add the feature in efficiently and intuitively.
