You could use the key bindings api to add support but it s not intuitive and now you implementing functionality you d get for free using a jtable based solution anyway generally speaking it s not intuitive as jlist is not meant to be editable so most users won t have that expectation mindset and it could cause frustration for the user as their expected results don t meet what your program is now doing from question Checkboxes in jcombobox : never checked |

Jlist is not yet editable and might never be;jtable would handle the layout problems for you and you can easily access the values via the table from question Java Swing Scrollpane in NetBeans |
