can one disable key bindings on a JComponent?

[gib65]

Suppose that I've got a set of keys bound to a JComponent. Something like this:

    public void bindKeys() {

	// variable declarations:
	InputMap inputMap   = getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW);
	ActionMap actionMap = getActionMap();

	int PRESSED  = InputProcessor.PRESSED;
	int RELEASED = InputProcessor.RELEASED;

	int UP       = KeyEvent.VK_UP;
	int RIGHT    = KeyEvent.VK_RIGHT;
	int DOWN     = KeyEvent.VK_DOWN;
	int LEFT     = KeyEvent.VK_LEFT;

	int N 	     = KeyEvent.VK_N; // new maze
	int R	     = KeyEvent.VK_R; // restart level
	int Q	     = KeyEvent.VK_Q; // quit
	int P	     = KeyEvent.VK_P; // pause

	// up arrow key
	inputMap.put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(UP, 0, false), "up_pressed");
	actionMap.put("up_pressed", new InputProcessor(PRESSED, UP));
	inputMap.put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(UP, 0, true), "up_released");
	actionMap.put("up_released", new InputProcessor(RELEASED, UP));	

	// right arrow key
	inputMap.put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(RIGHT, 0, false), "right_pressed");
	actionMap.put("right_pressed", new InputProcessor(PRESSED, RIGHT));
	inputMap.put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(RIGHT, 0, true), "right_released");
	actionMap.put("right_released", new InputProcessor(RELEASED, RIGHT));

	// down arrow key
	inputMap.put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(DOWN, 0, false), "down_pressed");
	actionMap.put("down_pressed", new InputProcessor(PRESSED, DOWN));
	inputMap.put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(DOWN, 0, true), "down_released");
	actionMap.put("down_released", new InputProcessor(RELEASED, DOWN));

	// left arrow key
	inputMap.put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(LEFT, 0, false), "left_pressed");
	actionMap.put("left_pressed", new InputProcessor(PRESSED, LEFT));
	inputMap.put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(LEFT, 0, true), "left_released");
	actionMap.put("left_released", new InputProcessor(RELEASED, LEFT));

	// 'n' (for new maze)
	inputMap.put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(N, 0, false), "n_pressed");
	actionMap.put("n_pressed", new InputProcessor(PRESSED, N));

	// 'r' (for restart level)
	inputMap.put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(R, 0, false), "r_pressed");
	actionMap.put("r_pressed", new InputProcessor(PRESSED, R));

	// 'q' (for quit)
	inputMap.put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(Q, 0, false), "q_pressed");
	actionMap.put("q_pressed", new InputProcessor(PRESSED, Q));

	// 'p' (for pause)
	inputMap.put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(P, 0, false), "p_pressed");
	actionMap.put("p_pressed", new InputProcessor(PRESSED, P));
    }

Is there a simple way to temporarily disable the key bindings? Something like

myComponent.getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW).setEnabled(false);

I know about the InputMap.remove(KeyStroke) but I'm wondering if there's something simpler (and something that doesn't involve actually removing the key bindings) like the hypothetical setEnabled(boolean) method above.

Get a reference to each Action from the ActionMap and call setEnabled(false) on it?

If you need more help, I think you're going to have to explain the rationale behind the requirement. You might also consider posting a SSCCE.

That won't be necessary. Your answer is more than helpful.
