But isn't that a distinction without a difference? Technically, you're right, all keys go to the focus owner. In practice though, some never make it out the door. Looks like I recalled wrong how menu keys are processed, surprisingly they can be blocked if you want. I should have checked more closely :) ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jfx/pull/1632#issuecomment-2652253774
