Hi,
is there any way in SWT to ignore accelerators that are set to the Shell's
Menu in case they are written into a Text field?
For example, have an accelerator "Shift-C" does the action "Open File...".
Now, when focus is set to a Text Field, I would like to have the native
"Copy" action being performed instead of the parent / Shell's action. Or
for example an accelerator "N" for "Goto next news", would stop the Text
widget of containing any "n"-Character.
The Text widget should keep and use those keys that are consumable, and
pass any others to parent Widgets and Controls.
Found a bug entry (19527
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=19527) that deals with this
problem, but it was set to "Wontfix" since Eclipse now offers
Editor/Content dependant key bindings (e.g. "In Java Source"). But thats
no solution for other applications that use SWT without the Eclipe
Framework.
