SWT - Mapping key actions (ie Ctrl+S = Save)

[Ivan Jouikov]

How the hell do you do that? I spent the last two hours searching google with absolutely no result!

shell.addKeyListener( new KeyAdapter ... doesn't work. It works if I add it to a text box, but how would I make a global key listener event?

This is driving me crazy, please help

Privet Ivan!
If you need Ctrl + s for your menuItem in the menu for example, you could use the following code:
menuItem.setAccelerator(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_S, ActionEvent.CTRL_MASK));

Omg that did the trick!

Thanks!
