Capture hotkey in Swing

I want to catch some hotkeys with 2 letter keys like Ctrl+P,P (Ctrl+P and press P without releasing Ctrl) but code below doesn't work:

KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_P & KeyEvent.VK_P, InputEvent.CTRL_MASK)
//or
KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_P | KeyEvent.VK_P, InputEvent.CTRL_MASK)

It only captures Ctrl+P

Then you need to use two separate KeyStrokes and catch each KeyStroke separately. For example:

KeyStroke p = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke('P'); 
KeyStroke control = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke("control P");

Read the section from the Swing tutorial on How to Use Key Bindings for more information.
