What property are you trying to edit?
The resource properties provided by the workbench are read only.

We provide a property sheet example.
Install the example the create a file called test.usr
Expand the content outline and select a user
The properties for the user are editable and copy paste works.

It was in the case of using the property view in the Plugin Development 
perspective. I wanted to create a plugin, and in this case the property view is 
editable but there is no means to use a copy/paste (useful for instance in menu 
item creation)
regards

Moving to PDE

Verified it does not work in the PDE provided property sheet page (it works in 
the property sheet page provided by the workspace).

A CellEditorActionHandler is used to pass the accelerators on to the 
celleditor.

If PDE requires property sheet page API changes for 2.0 to fix this PR please 
let us know as soon as possible.

Same here on 2.0 F1. Copy & Paste via ShortCuts in Property View of PDE while 
modifying plugin.xml Extentions doesn't work, although Copy & Paste via right 
mouse button context menu is working. Only Copy & Paste via ShortCuts doesn't 
seem to work.

Eclipse 2.1 M4 - still not consistent across the Eclipse application

Sometimes CRTL+X/C/V works but SHIFT+DEL/INS not, sometime vice versa, 
sometimes both and sometimes only via context menus
Comment 7 Dejan Glozic CLA 2003-01-22 11:37:13 EST 
Since this is PDE UI inbox, please specify which shortcuts do not work when 
used in the context of PDE editors only.
Comment 8 Gunnar Wagenknecht CLA 2003-01-22 19:33:11 EST 
For me ctrl+c/x/v arn't working in the properties view. I don't know if it is a 
PDE only bug. Shift+Del/Ins works.

Comment 10 Dejan Glozic CLA 2003-01-30 10:15:16 EST 
The error was in PDE. PDE has switchable property sheets that can be different 
across pages (for example 'Extensions' page has a property sheet with different 
local tool bar actions that the one in 'Extension Points'). The class that was 
in charge of switching these pages didn't refresh global action handlers. The 
code to handle most of the global actions was therefore in the property sheet, 
but the action handlers were disconnected from the main action bars.

Fixed and released into HEAD. Will appear in the builds > I20030129.
