# Class KeyCodeCombination

java.lang.Object
javafx.scene.input.KeyCombination
javafx.scene.input.KeyCodeCombination

public final class KeyCodeCombination extends KeyCombination
This class represents a key combination in which the main key is specified by its `KeyCode`. This is the recommended way to specify a shortcut that does not involve a symbol or punctuation (for such a shortcut a `KeyCharacterCombination` is preferred).

Since:
  JavaFX 2.0

- ## Constructor Details

  - ### KeyCodeCombination

    public KeyCodeCombination(KeyCode code, KeyCombination.ModifierValue shift, KeyCombination.ModifierValue control, KeyCombination.ModifierValue alt, KeyCombination.ModifierValue meta, KeyCombination.ModifierValue shortcut)
    Constructs a `KeyCodeCombination` for the specified main key and with an explicit specification of all modifier keys. Each modifier key can be set to `PRESSED`, `RELEASED` or `IGNORED`.
    Parameters:
      `code` - the key code of the main key
      `shift` - the value of the `shift` modifier key
      `control` - the value of the `control` modifier key
      `alt` - the value of the `alt` modifier key
      `meta` - the value of the `meta` modifier key
      `shortcut` - the value of the `shortcut` modifier key

  - ### KeyCodeCombination

    public KeyCodeCombination(KeyCode code, KeyCombination.Modifier... modifiers)
    Constructs a `KeyCodeCombination` for the specified main key and with the specified list of modifiers. All modifier keys which are not explicitly listed are set to the default `RELEASED` value.

    All possible modifiers which change the default modifier value are defined as constants in the `KeyCombination` class.

    Parameters:
      `code` - the key code of the main key
      `modifiers` - the list of modifier keys and their corresponding values

- ## Method Details

  - ### getCode

    public final KeyCode getCode()
    Gets the key code associated with this key combination.
    Returns:
      The key code associated with this key combination

  - ### match

    public boolean match(KeyEvent event)
    Tests whether this key combination matches the key combination in the given `KeyEvent`. It uses only the key code and the state of the modifier keys from the `KeyEvent` in the test. This means that the method can return `true` only for `KEY_PRESSED` and `KEY_RELEASED` events, but not for `KEY_TYPED` events, which don't have valid key codes.
    Overrides:
      `match` in class `KeyCombination`
    Parameters:
      `event` - the key event
    Returns:
      `true` if the key combinations match, `false` otherwise

  - ### getName

    public String getName()
    Returns a string representation of this `KeyCodeCombination`.

    The string representation consists of sections separated by plus characters. Each section specifies either a modifier key or the main key.

    A modifier key section contains the `KeyCode` name of a modifier key. It can be prefixed with the `Ignored` keyword. A non-prefixed modifier key implies its `PRESSED` value while the prefixed version implies the `IGNORED` value. If some modifier key is not specified in the string at all, it means it has the default `RELEASED` value.

    The main key section contains the key code name of the main key and is the last section in the returned string.

    Overrides:
      `getName` in class `KeyCombination`
    Returns:
      the string representation of this `KeyCodeCombination`

  - ### equals

    public boolean equals(Object obj)
    Tests whether this `KeyCodeCombination` equals to the specified object.
    Overrides:
      `equals` in class `KeyCombination`
    Parameters:
      `obj` - the object to compare to
    Returns:
      `true` if the objects are equal, `false` otherwise

  - ### hashCode

    public int hashCode()
    Returns a hash code value for this `KeyCodeCombination`.
    Overrides:
      `hashCode` in class `KeyCombination`
    Returns:
      the hash code value
