There is a WYSIWYG Text Editing task in the GEF 3.1 plan:
WYSIWYG Text Editing. Textual document editing for GEF. Keyboard input,
navigation, and mouse selection support via new tools and viewers. BiDi
support, etc. Requires a new example which exercises the new API. [GEF,
draw2d]
Will it make it to 3.1? What is already available in CVS? I am very much in
need of the keyboard input and navigation part. I have posted several
questions about that in the newsgroups, but I still don't know how to
implement it with the current GEF version.
I need cursor support in a wysiwyg manner (the cursor is always present,
you can move it around, and you can type text at any time, or insert any
element where the cursor is from a top level menu).
Thanks,
David

Hi David
There is already a unfinished WYSIWY Text Editing example available since
the 3.1 M4 release. Download it and you'll have the new
org.eclipse.gef.examples.text_3.1.0 plug-in. You can start it when you
create a file with a *.text extension.

The example will make it into 3.1. But, only changes to draw2d will be
included in GEF runtime. The TextTool and other related classes will remain
in the example for 3.1. We cannot commit to the API for the 3.1 schedule.
There are obviously some things the example does incorrectly, and some thing
we haven't thought of doing. Try playing with the example to see what it
does wrong, then if you want to help ask for details about the problems here
or on the mailing list.
