I'm unable to get hotkeys (e.g. CTRL-Z for Undo) to work in my graphical
editor.
I tried to mimic the code from the Logic example, but no luck there.
I tried to force it with:
_sharedKeyHandler.put(
KeyStroke.getPressed('z', SWT.CTRL),
getActionRegistry().getAction(GEFActionConstants.UNDO));
but no luck there too...
The hotkeys *are* active in the outline editor, but not in the graphical
editor.
The editor is embedded in a MultiPageEditorPart.
Any tips would be appreciated.
Thanks, Danny Soroker.

Eric,
The actions are enabled (I can Undo via the context menu
or via the main menu (edit->undo), but not via the keyboard..
Where, specifically, do the keys actions / events get enabled for
the graphical editor?
Thanks, Danny.

The Eclipse workbench defines a global action for Undo. It appears in the
menubar, and steals CTRL+Z from every control in the Shell. This is the
reason that the keystroke is stolen from your viewer.
To get undo to be associated with the keystroke, you must register your
action handler for undo with the workbench, which is part of what Eric
described.

Randy,
My code contains all the calls that Eric mentioned, but still
the CTRL+SO is not responding. Given what you say, I am
guessing that I am doing the registration, but it is, somehow, overridden.
Maybe this has to do with it being embedded in a Multiage editor.
Does that sound right to you?
What is the specific call that registers my action handler for undo
with the workbench?
Thanks, Danny.

....should be CTRL+Z below (always use the spell-checker with caution...)
BTW, the actions are also active in the Action Bar, and also as hotkeys
in the outline viewer.

IActionBars.setGlobalActionHandler must be called.

IActionBars.setGlobalActionHandler(...),
but still no keyboard response.
Any other ideas?
Danny.

Sorry, I am not familiar with multi-page editors. Maybe someone on platform
newsgroup could help more.
