Java – Disable spacebar trigger click JButton

Jbuttons consider that pressing the spacebar is the same as clicking JButton (assuming JButton has focus, I assume here) Is there any way to turn off this behavior, so they ignore pressing the spacebar?

Also, more generally, is there a technique for doing this using abstractbuttons?

Solution

You can disable it by doing so

jbutton.getInputMap().put(Keystroke.getKeystroke("SPACE"),"none");

This also seems to apply to other abstractbuttons, such as jradiobuttons

As @camickr pointed out below, you can solve all jbuttons at once, as follows:

InputMap im = (InputMap)UIManager.get("Button.focusInputMap");
im.put(Keystroke.getKeystroke("pressed SPACE"),"none");
im.put(Keystroke.getKeystroke("released SPACE"),"none");
