Running prints and the window is created but after that nothing else happens
most of this is me trying random stuff from the tutorial linked from the KeyListener page on the oracle docs

It also didn’t work when I didn’t have any other components
Just the jframe and keylistener

so what here would be focusable?
I tried adding the listener to the JScrollPane and JTextArea too
in the example they added it to a JTextField, which makes sense I guess though I thought I tried that and it didnt work
ok when I do that it works now... Is there a way to get it to work without needing a textbox?

I've been looking at that, when I said "the tutorial" I meant the file linked at the bottom there

so I've now tried doing it with keybindings, which is way nicer, but I can't figure out why one keybind works and the other doesnt
so with this the first action works but the second doesnt
I've confirmed with debugger only the first one is getting triggered

Maybe thats left alone because the focused component is a textbox, so it uses copy instead of passing it on
either way ty again
