AFAIK, this happens in java.awt.DefaultKeyboardFocusManager. I would
think that your statement only is true for synthetic keyboard events.

Whoa, crazy :-)

Could well be. This alone would be a very difficult task afaics.

Maybe you can give a little more information, otherwise I can hardly
imagine, what you want to implement. I mean, the client would reside
inside a JFrame (?), and have it's own event queue and drawing
mechanism. Where would the server intercept here?
