Hi,

I'm trying to capture the 'insert' button combination (CTRL+V) within a Text
widget. How can I do this? Where can I find a tutorial on this? It must be
quite a common asked question but I found nothing useful in the list - sorry
if I ask a question already answered before.

Thanx,
exquisitus

public final void keyPressed(final KeyEvent e) {

if ((e.stateMask == SWT.CTRL) && (e.keyCode == 'V' || e.keyCode == 'v'))
{

// DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO : text.paste() for example...

Looking for Ctrl+V will make Mac users unhappy (they use Command+V) and
Motif users unhappy (they use Shift+Ins). Do you want SWT.Verify instead?
The code fragment won't work because SWT generates ^V (Unicode 0x16) when
you tpye a control 'v'.

You might want to try SWT.MOD1 instead of SWT.CTRL  That'll at least
make the MacOS X people happy.  Beyond that, you could use a if ()
statment on SWT.getPlatform().equals("some-platform) to determine the
key combo.<br>

The SWT.MOD1 won't help the Shift+Ins case. If you can use the =
SWT.Verify event, it hides these details. It sounds to me like you want =
to implement paste (not sure why because the Text control does this =
already for you using the right keys) and this will require you to know =
the key sequence for the platform.
