/**
* An abstract adapter class for receiving keyboard events.
* The methods in this class are empty. This class exists as
* convenience for creating listener objects.
* <P>
! * Extend this class to create a <code>KeyEvent</code> listener
* and override the methods for the events of interest. (If you implement the
! * <code>KeyListener</code> interface, you have to define all of
* the methods in it. This abstract class defines null methods for them
* all, so you can only have to define methods for events you care about.)
* <P>
* Create a listener object using the extended class and then register it with
! * a component using the component's <code>addKeyListener</code>
* method. When a key is pressed, released, or typed,
* the relevant method in the listener object is invoked,
! * and the <code>KeyEvent</code> is passed to it.
