+/**
+ * A KeyEventDispatcher cooperates with the current KeyboardFocusManager in the
+ * targeting and dispatching of all KeyEvents. KeyEventDispatchers registered
+ * with the current KeyboardFocusManager will receive KeyEvents before they are
+ * dispatched to their targets, allowing each KeyEventDispatcher to retarget
+ * the event, consume it, dispatch the event itself, or make other changes.
+ * <p>
+ * Note that KeyboardFocusManager itself implements KeyEventDispatcher. By
+ * default, the current KeyboardFocusManager will be the sink for all KeyEvents
+ * not dispatched by the registered KeyEventDispatchers. The current
+ * KeyboardFocusManager cannot be completely deregistered as a
+ * KeyEventDispatcher. However, if a KeyEventDispatcher reports that it
+ * dispatched the KeyEvent, regardless of whether it actually did so, the
+ * KeyboardFocusManager will take no further action with regard to the
+ * KeyEvent. (While it is possible for client code to register the current
+ * KeyboardFocusManager as a KeyEventDispatcher one or more times, this is
+ * usually unnecessary and not recommended.)

+     * This method is called by the current KeyboardFocusManager requesting
+     * that this KeyEventDispatcher dispatch the specified event on its behalf.
+     * This KeyEventDispatcher is free to retarget the event, consume it,
+     * dispatch it itself, or make other changes. This capability is typically
+     * used to deliver KeyEvents to Components other than the focus owner. This
+     * can be useful when navigating children of non-focusable Windows in an
+     * accessible environment, for example. Note that if a KeyEventDispatcher
+     * dispatches the KeyEvent itself, it must use <code>redispatchEvent</code>
+     * to prevent the current KeyboardFocusManager from recursively requesting
+     * that this KeyEventDispatcher dispatch the event again.
+     * <p>
+     * If an implementation of this method returns <code>false</code>, then
+     * the KeyEvent is passed to the next KeyEventDispatcher in the chain,
+     * ending with the current KeyboardFocusManager. If an implementation
+     * returns <code>true</code>, the KeyEvent is assumed to have been
+     * dispatched (although this need not be the case), and the current
+     * KeyboardFocusManager will take no further action with regard to the
+     * KeyEvent. In such a case,
+     * <code>KeyboardFocusManager.dispatchEvent</code> should return
+     * <code>true</code> as well. If an implementation consumes the KeyEvent,
+     * but returns <code>false</code>, the consumed event will still be passed
+     * to the next KeyEventDispatcher in the chain. It is important for
+     * developers to check whether the KeyEvent has been consumed before
+     * dispatching it to a target. By default, the current KeyboardFocusManager
+     * will not dispatch a consumed KeyEvent.
