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

["Kevin" <kevinlouisnospam@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Taking about the PasteTemplateAction in the logic example, why is it
extended from the SelectionAction?  I don't think it needs anything to be
selected to paste.  Should it extend the StackAction, just like the
RedoAction and UndoAction?

Thanks,

Kevin
