When the content assist proposal popup is shown, 'Ctrl' to toggle overwrite mode should also work when the popup has focus:

- Toggle the background drawing when Ctrl is pressed/released
- Use toggled mode when proposal is selected with the mouse, or with Ctrl+Enter

This needs to be implemented in the CompletionProposalPopup.

> Ctrl+Enter

This has has already been implemented and works fine on some platforms (Windows 7) but currently fails on GTK due to bug 508245.

Note, the ctrl+enter as well as alt+enter in trees/table/lists have been fixed.

508245 – Table SelectionListener is not properly activated when Shift+Enter is pressed (as it does on Windows).
