Re: [platform-swt-dev] Any reported problems with OSX SWT key captures?

["Steve Northover" <Steve_Northover@xxxxxxxxxx>]

It is likely we have a bug involving traveral.  The following snippet prints key presses.  Try it on the Mac.

(my apologies if this comes through twice.  i sent it from the wrong  
email address, which wasn't subscribed)

Well i am actually working with the viPlugin for eclipse.  The Author  
of it replied to me saying he had received multiple emails about this  
issue, but he doesn't own a mac, so he can't test/debug it.  I looked  
in his code (which works in windows) and saw this:

public void verifyKey(VerifyEvent e) {
//System.out.println("VerifyEvent = " + (int)e.character + ", " +  
e.keyCode + ", " + e.stateMask);
if (mode == INSERTMODE && e.character == SWT.ESC) {
                 // close IME window for platform.
                 e.display.getActiveShell().setImeInputMode(SWT.NONE);
                 e.doit = false;
                 switchToCommandMode();
}

As you can gather it is checking to see if the mode is INSERTMODE and  
the key pressed is equivalent to SWT.ESC.  Since this is working  
properly in windows (i haven't checked it in linux just yet), my first  
assumption is that the escape key isn't being captured correctly for  
the mac keyboard.  If you have any suggestions of how to test this or  
have pointers for a better place/list to look, i would appreciate it.

This is in Eclipse 2.1.1 by the way.

Thanks,
Jason
