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?

This is already there - it is called post selection listener.
