[news.eclipse.tools.gef] Re: What request should be used for copy action

["Randy Hudson" <none@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Copy is not an undoable action, so there is no command for it, and no 
request types.  Copy is a model operation which is not undoable, so GEF does 
not get involved.

Pasting depends on what the data is you are pasting.  For example, the Logic 
editor, we allow a palette template to be pasted, which is the same as 
creation, so we reuse the Create request.  In fact, the receiving editpart 
doesn't know the difference between paste and dragging to create.
