Re: [platform-ui-dev] intercept copy/paste in console

[Martin Lippert <mlippert@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Brian,

this is great, thanks a lot for your help, much appreciated. Works nicely!!! :-)

The only thing that bothers me is that this causes my action handler to be called for keystrokes and the global menu entries, but not for the context menu “copy” action. Any idea what I need to do additionally to hook into that as well?

Cheers,
-Martin

I’ve never tried this, but it’s possible your AnsiConsolePageParticipant’s init() might be able do something like:

Where there are multiple handlers for the same command, Eclipse ranks the available handlers by the complexity of their <activeWhen> expressions and chooses the more complex/specialized.  Your copy handler would behave similarly to the AnsiConsoleCopyIconAction.
