How to press Right Shift key in Java robot?

Question

Can you help me refactor this code:

public static void pressRightShift() {
    robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_SHIFT);
}

Please mention how to press for right\left shift keys as well.Thanks!

Answer 1

I found a Java tutorial that includes a Java WebStart sample and the source code. Looks like the winner is KeyEvent.getKeyLocation()

KeyEvent.KEY_LOCATION_STANDARD
KeyEvent.KEY_LOCATION_LEFT
KeyEvent.KEY_LOCATION_RIGHT
KeyEvent.KEY_LOCATION_NUMPAD
KeyEvent.KEY_LOCATION_UNKNOWN

Key Listener Demo and Source Code

Hope this helps!
