Main composite & key press [message #462849]

Hello,

Are there any means to make a main Composite (or even the Shell) to grab a
pressed key while another widget has the focus?

I need to handle the pressed key, no matter which widget has the focus.

Thank you.

Hi,
Adding a keydown listener to the shell should catch all events, even if
the focus is on any widget. I remember seeing a snippet on Eclipse's web
site demonstrating this.
See : http://www.eclipse.org/swt/snippets/

I checked my code, and with a filter added to the display, you can filter
all types of events.

Eg. : getDisplay().addFilter(SWT.KeyDown, new Listener(){...} );
