How to simulate keystrokes in java

I want to simulate a string input (can contain any character) in a JTextField. I use the new KeyEventData () for this. But I can’t determine how to handle characters like {,},), etc., And also how to add a new character to already entered characters.

You can use Robotfor this, as shown in the example. To get {, for example, you need to do something like this:

keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_SHIFT);
keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_OPEN_BRACKET);
keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_OPEN_BRACKET);
keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_SHIFT);

check VK_BRACELEFT, VK_BRACERIGHT, VK_RIGHT_PARENTHESIS and VK_LEFT_PARENTHESIS to process these characters.

To add a character, you can create a list of characters or create a string.

edit: to get the value of a character from keyevent try KeyEvent.getKeyChar ()
