Good point, it's not and shouldn't be strictly illegal. I only commented earlier that I think they shouldn't be doing it but currently have little recourse. It should be perfectly fine to create your own KeyEvent or MouseEvent, and IMHO such events should be able to do anything that system created events can do, including firing system menus. That ship may have sailed though as I think there's already data in these events that users can't create or replicate. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jfx/pull/1848#issuecomment-3076443962
