This would cause major performance issues because of continuous action updating 
on every single key stroke.

I am trying to add support for the Tabbed Properties in the JavaEditor (bug 154781).  This bug is preventing the PropertySheet class from updating when the cursor moves in a TextEditor.  PropertySheet is an ISelectionListener on the IWorkbenchPage and no selectionChanged event is fired when a mouse selection occurs.

There are other text based editors that properly support the PropertySheet such as the XSD editor and XML editors.  I noticed that the XSD editor allows you to type and then only fires the selectionChanged event after you are done typing.  Couldn't the text editor do this?

>Couldn't the text editor do this?
This is already there - it is called post selection listener.
