A KeyStroke is defined as an optional set of modifier keys
followed optionally by a natural key. A KeyStroke is said to
be complete if it contains a natural key. A natural key is any Unicode
character (e.g., "backspace", etc.), any character belonging to a natural
language (e.g., "A", "1", "[", etc.), or any special control character
specific to computers (e.g., "F10", "PageUp", etc.).
All KeyStroke objects have a formal string representation
available via the toString() method. There are a number of
methods to get instances of KeyStroke objects, including one
which can parse this formal string representation.
All KeyStroke objects, via the format() method,
provide a version of their formal string representation translated by
platform and locale, suitable for display to a user.
KeyStroke objects are immutable. Clients are not permitted to
extend this class.
