You don't, java is not the kind of language that does a particularly good job at such hardware/OS specific jobs. Depending on your OS, there are driver/kernel based solutions. For example, carabiner on a mac. autohotkey on windows, etc.

Specifically, it is non-trivial (requires hacks or JNA/JNI) to have all keyboard input redirect to some java process instead of the active app, and robot only gets you so far. Lots of apps hook up to a more direct line of input and thus completely ignore Robot.

Stuff like carabiner etc. don't suffer from those issues.
