[news.eclipse.tools.gef] Re: Move object by keyboard

["Randy Hudson" <none@xxxxxxxxxx>]

CTRL+SPACE is used to select parts just like in lists and tables.  picking 
up a handle is not "select", so we have to use another key.  I like PERIOD 
b/c it looks exactly like the handle.

The drag trackers do not need to process arrows. the selection tool does 
this already for all trackers.
