Here is a brief example, at least it works for me.

keyboardFocusListener = new KeyAdapter(){
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e){
int code = e.getKeyCode();
// ignore modifier keys by themselves ...
if ((code == KeyEvent.VK_ALT) || (code == KeyEvent.VK_SHIFT) || (code == KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL)) {
return;
}
int modifiers = e.getModifiers();
char c = e.getKeyChar();

boolean plain = (modifiers == 0);
boolean control = (modifiers == InputEvent.CTRL_MASK);
boolean shift = (modifiers == InputEvent.SHIFT_MASK);
boolean alt = (modifiers == InputEvent.ALT_MASK);
switch (code) {
// check function keys ...
case KeyEvent.VK_R:
if (shift) {
someAction(); 
return;
}
break;
                 }
}
};
