The pop up menu is the default one provided by the o/s. It isn't available on all window systems (for example, not on motif). I'm not sure whether we can access it's functionality programatically, and even if we could, it would require us to implement the undo feature on all other platforms. *** Bug 4453 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 152597 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** we have an undo menu item with the ctrl+z accelerator (jface action). this wins against the windows ctrl+z, which is not what we want if the focus is on a text widget. my first idea was calling text.undo() in this case, what led me to this bug. is there a known/recommended workaround? |
1) Create a new task in the task list 2) Popup the menu while editing the description field and note there are items for undo,cut,copy,paste,delete,select all 3) The api for Text has cut,copy,paste,insert(""),select all but is missing undo We need this in order to perform an undo using our global accelerator
