How to add keydown/up event listener on eclipse rcp editor view? [message #925065]

So I basically need to get key press up/down event from eclipse editor view. I googled it for couple hours but only found keypress events from shell (like here www.java2s.com/Tutorial/Java/0280__SWT/Geteventtype.htm). But this method do not work in/from editor view. So maybe some one knows how to add keypress event listener in editor?

P.S. I'm using eclipse 4.2.

Thanks in advance

I found out the way (thanks guys in irc)

// ITextEditor editor;
((StyledText)editor.getAdapter(org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Control.class)).addKeyListener(new KeyListener() {
	
	@Override
	public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e) {
		System.out.println("key release ");
	}
	
	@Override
	public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
		System.out.println("key pressed ");
	}
});
