Hello. Please, tell me, how can I catch Enter key pressing in my
TextEditor class? I'm try to add auto indent to my editor.

To add auto indent, you don't need to catch key presses yourself.
Consider using the org.eclipse.jface.text.IAutoEditStrategy interface
instead.
Specifically, you could extend
org.eclipse.jface.text.DefaultIndentLineAutoEditStrategy
(org.eclipse.jface.text.DefaultAutoIndentStrategy in Eclipse 3.0).
You can then call prependAutoEditStrategy() on your TextViewer to install
your strategy.

Tnx.
So, I wrote XMLAutoIndentStrategy class, register it in the
XMLSourceViewerConfiguration class:
public IAutoIndentStrategy getAutoIndentStrategy(ISourceViewer
sourceViewer,
String contentType)
{
return new
XMLAutoIndentStrategy(UIPlugin.getDefault().getPreferenceSto re());
}

Then, I set configuration in the Editor class:
setSourceViewerConfiguration(new XMLConfiguration(colorManager));

But when I press "Enter" key method
XMLAutoIndentStrategy.customizeDocumentCommand does'n calls...

Sorry for my english...

Have you set up document partitioning?
Without document partitioning, auto indent will not work.
If you have, then all I can recommend is debugging to make sure your auto
indent strategy is being installed, and then check what happens when a key
is pressed on the editor styledtext widget.
