when using GUI in Netbeans , I'm trying to call a private void function

I created Jform windows via Netbeans , i added KeyListener to the class so if someone press LEFT key it will do the same action as clicking on the button. but in the keyPressed function i can not call to the button action performed function . how can i do it? 

    public class Main extends javax.swing.JFrame implements KeyListener{
public Main() {
        //Add keyListener to the buutons (the action is defiened in fun keyPressed)

        initComponents();
        jButton1_Computer.addKeyListener(this); 
        jButton1_Student.addKeyListener(this);
    }
.
.
.
 private void jButton1_ComputerActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                                  

        System.out.println("you pressed the button");  
// I want to call to this function from the keyPressed function
    }           


   public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
     int keyCode=e.getKeyCode();
     if(keyCode==KeyEvent.VK_LEFT){

       jButton1_ComputerActionPerformed(what kind of param should i give here?);
     }

    }
.
.
    }

Don't call the "ActionListener", instead, call doClick() on the button which will press the button, and that will call the JButton's ActionListener for you. 

jButton1.doClick();

Also you will want to avoid using KeyListener for this and instead use Key Bindings.

Why dont you add KeyListener to button

myButton.addKeyListener(new KeyListener() {

        @Override
        public void keyTyped(KeyEvent arg0) {

        }

        @Override
        public void keyReleased(KeyEvent arg0) {

        }

        @Override
        public void keyPressed(KeyEvent arg0) {

        }
    });
