[news.eclipse.tools.gef] Re: CTRL+<key> combination possible?

["Randy Hudson" <none@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I think CTRL+J produces some other character that is not J.
There is an SWT snippet that prints out every key event you type. You can 
quickly find out what event is generated for any key combination.

BTW, there are many scenarios where the keyhandler is not appropriate 
because it will not work unless the viewer has focus. Also, it is not easily 
customized by the user and the user will not be informed of conflicts that 
he/she creates when customizing other keystroked in the IDE.

You should use commands when appropriate.
