Hi,

Been searching around for a way to check if a key is pressed at a certain instance, but the only thing i can find is where you add a listener to listen when a key is pressed. I do not know if this depends on my lack of search skills or whatever. Hope someone can shine some light on this problem for me. Again:

Is there any way to check if a key is pressed or not?

Hi Martin,

I have custom GEF editor and some predefined shortcuts. For example if user will press "L" - connection tool become active, "P" - pan tool etc.
For this purposes I am using EditDomain methods:

EditDomain:mouseUp(MouseEvent mouseEvent, EditPartViewer viewer)
EditDomain:mouseDown(MouseEvent mouseEvent, EditPartViewer viewer)

Perhaps there are other ways for this purposes but this way works fine for me.

Thanks,
Igor
