Answer 1

"i should call ActionEvent manually so that control is tranferred to actionPerformed"

No, you shouldn't. You shouldn't be using KeyListeners on text fields either. Simply add a ActionListener to the fields if you are interested in knowing when the user "actions" the field.

You can also use JRootPane#setDefaultButton which can trigger the button when ever the UI specific activation event occurs
