Description

Registering a key-related input action with Swing is a two liner

actions {
   action(id: "viewScriptAction",
      name: "View",
      mnemonic: "V",
      accelerator: shortcut("V"),
      keyStroke: shortcut("ENTER"),
      shortDescription: "View selected Script",
      closure: controller.viewScript)
}
...
scriptsTable.getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_FOCUSED).put(shortcut("ENTER"), "viewScript")
scriptsTable.actionMap.put("viewScript", viewScriptAction)

It should be possible to create a method that makes this task easier and more intuitive like

keyStrokeAction(scriptsTable, keyStroke: shortcut("ENTER"), action: viewScriptAction)

Note: this feature has been prototyped on the Griffon codebase
