The KeyStroke.toString() method does not return a string that can be parsed by KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(). The method keyStroke2String() in this example returns a string that is parseable by KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(). However, there is one keystroke that cannot be represented as a string that can be parsed back to a keystroke - - a typed space character. In order to bind an action to a typed space character, KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(new Character(' '), 0) needs to be called.
