Hi all !

In a GEF editor I would like to run the UNDO action when the user press on
CTRL-Z. To do so I implement something like that :

keyhandler.put(KeyStroke.getPressed(SWT.CONTROL | 'z', 0),
getActionRegistry().getAction(GEFActionConstants.UNDO));

It seems to me that the system catchs only the CONTROL key when I press
CTRL Z. I also tried several others ways like telling that the keycode was
SWT.CONTROL|'z' and the statemask was SWT.CONTROL and so... but none has
worked.

I have to add that the action UNDO do run when I link it to the SHIFT-Z or
any other key... so i think the problem should come only from the
keyhandler setup.

Could someone explain to me please how do to that?

That's right. CTRL+Z is an accelerator defined in the Shell. This means
you must use a global action handler to hook into the workbench's handling
of CTRL+Z. See how the logic example does this.
