asynchronous access to the current CTRL or SHIFT modifiers [message #233526]

Hi there,

Is there a way to find out if CTRL or SHIFT have been pressed from an
EditPolicy or EditPart? For example, this is code that is called on a
timer, rather than a keyboard or mouse event.

It would be nice if the the state of modifier keys was cached in the
root Tool, Domain or Viewer and easily accessible.

Thanks
Damian

Hi,

Isn't there any way to get around this? For example, you could register a
key listener on the figure and cache the currently pressed key.

Cheers,
Alex
