Sorry, I read the comment too fast.



I almost sure this is platform behaviour (the test program is using a native text which pretty much proves it). Bogdan, do you have access to a AIX machine ? 
Can you prove that Ctrl-Insert Shift-insert (and not ctrl-c ctrl-v) is the default keybinding for copy and paste on AIX/motif. Thank you.

Amit, try copying and pasting from the text field in the Man Page Viewer (available in Application Manager->Desktop apps). You'll see that copy and paste works only with Ctrl-Insert Shift-Insert. Since your demo app is making use of a native text, we are doing the correct thing here.

With man page editor i tryied copying text and paste in Text editor. It don't work. But Ctrl-Insert and Shift-Insert keys does work. But if as a product i want a uniform behaviour on all platform then don't Ctrl-c Ctrl-v should also work on AIX? Any way to get the same beviour in my application.

Different platforms have different behaviours. Take the Mac for example, the keyboard modifiers are different from the PC, many keybinding in Eclipse differ in the Mac in order match the native behaviour. That is a good thing, it makes the real mac users happy.

>Any way to get the same beviour in my application.

Yes, you can customize the keybindings to whatever you want. Eclipse allows you to do that. By default, you get the native behaviour. Closing this report as wont fix (sorry).
