Cell navigation [message #630430]

Hi.

I'm trying to use JFace's cell navigation framework to replace some
custom classes. I'm starting from Snippet058 however it doesn't seems to
work as I would like. I mean, cell navigation works well until an editor
is activated, at this point only TAB navigation works. I would like to
use up and down arrows to move to the upper and lower rows even when the
editors are active. Is this possible ? How ?

Regards,
Marco.

I don't think it easily possible and I don't think this is a good idea
because e.g. when you use a ComboEditor up and down are there to select
an entry in the list.

I know, in that case up and down arrows won't navigate through cells.

I already have the code to do that kind of cell navigation, I was only
trying to replace it with a standard framework, but I understand that it
wasn't designed to work with editors active.

Marco.
