Interface KeyListener

public interface KeyListener

A priority key listener. KeyListeners are always called before the shell system processes the key strokes. This provides the key listener the ability to override control.

Note: KeyListeners should *not* be used for creating interactive prompts. Use Shell.scan() instead. This facility if for overriding the default behavior of the shell itself.
