Invoking a Direct Edit Action [message #647961]

Having this code put into subclassed Editor's getCommonKeyHandler() method:

sharedKeyHandler.put(KeyStroke.getPressed(SWT.F2, 0),					getActionRegistry().getAction(GEFActionConstants.DIRECT_EDIT));

The F2 key didn't go into my CellEditor for a Label Figure.

I want to be able to edit a label in my editor pressing "Enter" or quickly double clicking twice on the EditPart. While currently an unselected part gets clicked once for selection, and delay a second mouse click.

How would I do this? I was puzzled on how to change certain editing behaviors, which may all lay in the layout policies.

Thankful for any help.
Andy Anfilofieff.

I was able to get a double click to edit a cell.

	public void performRequest(Request request) {
		if(request.getType() == RequestConstants.REQ_DIRECT_EDIT)
			performDirectEdit();
		if(request.getType() == RequestConstants.REQ_OPEN)
			performDirectEdit();
	}

But I was unable to use the ENTER key to edit a cell.

Hi Andy ,

Try using the below code in your graphical editor

	protected void configureGraphicalViewer() {
		super.configureGraphicalViewer();
		GraphicalViewer viewer = getGraphicalViewer();
		viewer.setKeyHandler(new GraphicalViewerKeyHandler(viewer) {
			@Override
			public boolean keyPressed(KeyEvent event) {

				EditPart editPart = (EditPart) ((IStructuredSelection) getGraphicalViewer().getSelection()).getFirstElement();
				// Open the CPS if enter is pressed
				if (event.keyCode == SWT.KEYPAD_CR || event.character == '\r') {
					editPart.performRequest(new Request(RequestConstants.REQ_DIRECT_EDIT));
				}

				return super.keyPressed(event);
			}
		});
}
