Description Sebastian Zarnekow CLA 2010-07-28 13:59:29 EDT 
They are currently based on the IAutoEditStrategy interface which allows to modify a DocumentCommand. Unfortunately it hides some important details such as the origin of the command, e.g. pasting a '(' from the clipboard should never insert a closing ')' while typing a '(' should.

I'm afraid that's the reason why PairedBraceInsertion is usually implemented based on a VerifyKeyListener.

Preliminary scheduled for M2 as we want to have a look at AutoEdit in this milestone.
Comment 2 Sven Efftinge CLA 2010-09-02 08:57:19 EDT 
Removed from the M2 schedule. Is this really an issue? 
Do people copy and paste single terminals or are there other more interesting scenarios?

They do for 'odd characters' like « » (guillemots) when they can't figure out how to type them :)
Comment 4 Sven Efftinge CLA 2010-09-02 10:56:00 EDT 
people who do that regularly deserve the extra pain :-)
Comment 5 Sven Efftinge CLA 2010-09-03 13:08:24 EDT 
EditingStrategies based on AbstractEditStrategy won't do anything on paste.

Closing bug which were set to RESOLVED before Eclipse Neon.0.
