hello everyone：
I want to realize the function of Ctrl + D similar to excel in the table, that is to fill in the same value in the whole column or selection area. I don't know how to do it. Thank you！

You need to register a custom key binding and then perform the action you want. For this you need to implement a command and a corresponding commandhandler that you register with a layer (I would suggest the DataLayer as you want to change data).

dataLayer.registerCommandHandler(new MyCustomCommandHandler(this);

Typically you create a AbstractUiBindingConfiguration that you register with your NatTable instance and there add some code like this:

        @Override
        public void configureUiBindings(UiBindingRegistry uiBindingRegistry) {
            uiBindingRegistry.registerKeyBinding(
                    new KeyEventMatcher(SWT.MOD1, 's'),
                    new IKeyAction() {
                        @Override
                        public void run(NatTable natTable, KeyEvent event) {
                            natTable.doCommand(new MyCustomCommand());
                        }
                    });
        }

This is the first time that I use nattable. I don't know the underlying source code, so I don't know how to customize commands. Can you help me? thank you！

Then you need to get familiar with it. Or you pay me for doing your job or ask for a tutorial where I teach you the usage of NatTable.

Have a look at our Getting Started Tutorial: https://www.vogella.com/tutorials/NatTable/article.html
Check out our examples application: https://www.eclipse.org/nattable/documentation.php?page=examples_application

In the _814_EditableSortableGroupByWithFilterExample we for example register actions to save and discard data changes.
