Action Map question

[Peter Simard]

When defining an ActionMap, are we defining one behavior common, i.e. available, to one or
more actions/keystrokes?
If I define :

Action enterKeyAction = new AbstractAction("Enter")
{
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
   {
       //code to do "stuff" here...
   }
KeyStroke ks = null;
InputMap imap = addMenuItemTable.getInputMap();
ActionMap amap = addMenuItemTable.getActionMap();
ks = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER, 0);
imap.put(ks, enterKeyAction.getValue(Action.NAME));
amap.put(enterKeyAction.getValue(Action.NAME), enterKeyAction);

Am I saying perform the actionPerformed WHENEVER the enter key is pressed?
I assume we have to addActionListener(enterKeyAction) for any component
we want to execute the specified action.
I perused this article:

but it's a bit early in the morning at the moment to get my head around!
