Does JList ever fire KeyEvents? Doesn’t seem so. Here’s an MRE

package demos.list;

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.KeyAdapter;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.awt.event.KeyListener;

public class JListDemo {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("JList Demo");
        JPanel mainPanel = new JPanel();
        mainPanel.add(createList());
        frame.setContentPane(mainPanel);
        frame.pack();
        frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }

    private static JList<String> createList() {
        JList<String> list = new JList<>(createListModel());
        list.addKeyListener(createListKeyListener());
        return list;
    }

    private static KeyListener createListKeyListener() {
        return new KeyAdapter() {
            @Override
            public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {
                System.out.println("Key typed");
            }

            @Override
            public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
                System.out.println("Key pressed");
            }

            @Override
            public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e) {
                System.out.println("Key released");
            }
        };
    }

    private static ListModel<String> createListModel() {
        DefaultListModel<String> listModel = new DefaultListModel<>();
        listModel.addElement("Pen");
        listModel.addElement("Pencil");
        listModel.addElement("Eraser");
        return listModel;
    }
}

No logs are ever printed, no matter how hard you hit the keyboard

The reason I want to listen to KeyEvents instead of ListSelectionEvents is I need to act (hide the containing JPopupMenu) even if the user selects the item that was already selected. I don’t get any ListSelectionEvents if that happens
