You will find threads about this in the deprecated newsgroup 
eclipse.tools or via Eclipse search page. Detecting what's being 
inserted in the document is not that hard (see for example 
IDocumentListener) while getting all key strokes is harder because the 
key binding service might catch some of them before they reach the editor.
