StyledText End key no keyDown event [message #455149]

When StyledText is in focus the End key (keypad-1 on my keyboard)
doesn't produce a keydown event. Same for PgDn (keypad-3). Home and PgUp do.

This makes it hard to filter these key presses.

Running WinXP Eclipse 3.1M5a.

What gives?

For some reason, the End key is coming in as a WM_COMMAND instead of a
WM_KEYDOWN, whereas Home is the opposite. Is this an SWT bug?

Oh, I see. This is an understanding bug. ;-} Accelerator keys in menu
items come through as commands.

The reason Home came through as a keystroke was apparently because Home
menu item was disabled. Since this determination was made before any
event was received by the control, it seems to mean that menu items with
accelerators can't depend on a MenuListener.menuShown() call to lazily
enable the item. Guess my MacOS 9 intuition isn't working so well.
Probably should get Steve N's book. ;-}
