Re: [platform-swt-dev] avoiding keys translation, getting raw platform key events
|
Ok, sorry for spamming the list, if this is not the right place for posting this kind of questions. I tried to google for some kind of SWT user forum, but I didn't found it. I will not post to this list anymore.
However, as I see there were some people who sent me precise responses, I would like to finish this issue.
For now I have used both display.addFilter, event codes and and key codes, with partial success. I can now intercept more keys, but still not all.
To be precise, I'm using List component, under gtk. When user types some alphabetic keys, a small window showing typed keys appears, it is used to filter list items. If I understand correctly how swt is working, then it is native gtk functionality. Those alphabetic keys are not passed to swt at all. I don't get any events in listener added by Display.addFilter, both keyup and keydown.
Is it possible, that not all keys are being passed to SWT from GTK widget?
Thanks,
Matt

Key events have two fields: character
and keyCode. The keyCode might be what you are looking for. It is 'j' when
you press 'Ctrl+j'.

Hi,
I'm trying to use swt for developing a simple file manager.
The problem I'm facing is related to key handling. Currently I'm on Linux,
using gtk swt version. If I try to act on some key events I get filtered
and translated key bindings. For example: ctrl+j is translated to Enter
key.
Is there some way to get the "raw" keys?
Thanks,
