I also tried the onKeyPressed field, tho it doesn't take a lambda assignment, with a separate Handler class.

Hmmm. I added a mouseevent handler for clicking, that requests focus when I click. When I do this, the pane has the focus, and the keyevent fires correctly. So perhaps my question is how to requestFocus from the beginning?

Perhaps

requestFocus

from the JavaFX

Node

type can help? The docs indicate a caveat that "the node must be part of a scene and all of it's ancestors must be shown" so timing might be weird depending on when you call it.

Thanks. I should have posted the answer i guessed at and worked: handle the stage's WindowEvent.SHOWN and call the pane's `requestFocus()`then.
