+ *
+ * <p>By default, the KeyboardFocusManager is the sink for all key events not
+ * post-processed elsewhere. Therefore, it is unnecessary for the user
+ * to register the focus manager as a dispatcher.

+ * to dispatch the event, it should call <code>redispatchEvent</code>

+ * <p>If the return value is false, the KeyEvent is passed to the next
+ * dispatcher in the chain, ending with the KeyboardFocusManager. If the
