I am currently working on a project and when I try to add my own key listener that is in its own class it doesn't work and when you press the keys nothing happens, and I've been at it for a while now. I can't use Keybindings so please don't offer for me to change to those because they don't work with what I am doing since they don't support multiple key presses at 1 time (trust me ive tried). It is focused using panel.setFocusable(true); and panel.requestFocusInWindow();, and I even did it to the frame with frame.setFocusable(true); and frame.requestFocusInWindow(); but still nothing. these are all my files:
EDIT: I added a SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {, but still nothing, I am currently doing what MadProgrammer said about KeyBindings but as of now I'm getting some weird errors I'm trying to fix.
