title: Reading alt code JTextArea
body: <p>I have a barcode that reads :
  "SerialNumber<kbd>ALT</kbd><kbd>0</kbd><kbd>9</kbd>ProductNumber"
  where <kbd>ALT</kbd><kbd>0</kbd><kbd>9</kbd> = <kbd>Tab</kbd>.</p>
  
  <p>I read the number in to a <code>JTextArea</code>, if i write the number manually with the tab key on my keyboard i get a valid input i can then <code>text.trim().split("\t");</code> 
  to get a valid input to get respective serial number and product number. But when reading the barcode who sends <kbd>ALT</kbd><kbd>0</kbd><kbd>9</kbd> it does not read anything.</p>
  
  <p>How do i get the <code>JTextArea</code> to accept <kbd>ALT</kbd><kbd>0</kbd><kbd>9</kbd> as <kbd>Tab</kbd> (or as alternative split on the location).</p>
