If the GLCanvas receives the key events, the key listener will have to be added to it instead of the JFrame, it's a basic Swing problem, it's not a JOGL problem.

How do I add the KeyListener to JFrame correctly (in this context)?

Swing works that way, one component will have the keyboard focus and only that component will get key events. So _IF_ the canvas has keyboard focus the listener must be added to the canvas.
