Description
|
When a HyperlinkEvent is fired, there's often the need to know what input modifiers were turned on when a link was activated. For example, popular web browsers perform different actions when Control and/or Shift keys were pressed during the link activation. The javax.swing.event.HyperlinkEvent customer should expose this information when available.

Work Around
|
Register key actions for Control and/or Shift key press/release and set/clear the appropriate flags. There's no guarantee however that the key action and the hyperlink activation action actually happened at the same time.

|
Evaluation
|
The following should be added to the HyperlinkEvent: a field for the InputEvent, the accessor method that returns the InputEvent object and the constructor that accepts the InputEvent parameter. The code which creates HyperlinkEvent objects (first of all, HTMLEditorKit) should supply InputEvent objects to the HyperlinkEvent constructor.
