I have a 3-D surface that represents the number of documents associated with a particular word stem. A green blob hovers just above the surface and represents a stem of interest. I would like the blob to hover just above the highest peak and move to the next highest when the tab key is pressed. If shift-tab is pressed the blob moves to next higher peak. This is illustrated at http://www.wizards.dupont.com/Equinox/images/word-category-map-window.gif the Java source is at http://www.wizards.dupont.com/Equinox/equinox.jar My question is, how can I intercept tab/shift-tab key presses when the graph has focus so I can in-turn move the green blob? I tried adding a KeyListener without any luck. I also checked out the VisAD examples and did not see any that react to key presses. Thanks in advance for any help.
