    Default Moving JPanel with Keylisteners

    Heyho, I am kinda stuck at a part in my code. Or more, two parts. For one, the image 'Kiste' should have an invisible background, but it kind of gets one. I haven't found out yet what I could do to solve this.

    The way bigger problem is, that when I press any key, most times nothing happens. Only sometimes it moves out of the frame. Does anyone know?
    I never worked with keybindings before and I don't really have the time to learn how to use them.

    Thank you!

    Default Re: Moving JPanel with Keylisteners

    when I press any key, most times nothing happens.
    Can you explain what you want the code to do when any key is pressed?

    Please copy the full text of any error messages and paste it here.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
