Hi,
Sorry for the re-post and x-post but I didn't get a reply and I'm not sure
which group is discussing PDE development ? Any tips on which group is which
? Is it eclipse.tools ?
I'd even appreciate a hint regarding how to make editors listen to
appropriate key events... I think its something to do with key bindings but
most things talk about action events and holding down the shift key is not
really and action so to speak ??
Thanks

eclipse.tools is deprecated and will be made read-only soon. This is a jface
related question and should probably go to eclipse.platform.

You can register a VerifyKeyListener with the editor's viewer (see
ITextViewerExtension.appendVerifyKeyListener) in order to be informed about
any key events (and possibly modify them). Instead of the viewer, you could
also go for the editors SWT widget (StyledText, for most text editors) and
do a similar thing there.
See also article
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/StyledText%201/article1.html on the
different events triggered by text editing.
HTH, Tom
