Mouse Event scripts
The global keylistener should allow you to register global hotkeys (that means hotkeys which work no matter which application has the focus.) Java can not do this out of the box. You would need a library which utilizes OS-specific APIs. Something like this (I have never used this myself but it was the first Google result.)

JavaFX 19 Released
So this makes me wonder: how common is desktop app development with Java these days? I imagine there is still a lot done for internal app, but is it still viable to ship Java apps to end users? How you handle JRE distribution in that case?
Anyway also wanna shout out Dear ImGui[0]. I've been using it recently to build an interactive UI to quite complicated networking code. So far it been great for manual testing and demos, and it's fairly low maintenance once running.

If you aren't off-put by the Blender/Unity UI style, there's also ImGUI a possibility as it has some java bindings available.

GUI in LWJGL
If you want a library that has an active community and a lot of examples try out imgui (java port: https://github.com/SpaiR/imgui-java). It is a C based language but seems like the port are pretty close to the original api so you can follow not only the java docs but the c/c++ ones as well. There are a few game engines that utilizes imgui in the editor because it is lightweight, easy to extend, theme and use.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing jnativehook and imgui-java you can also consider the following projects:
