Build Identifier: I20090611-1540 I am trying to use shortcut key ctrl-c ctrl-v in sample application which has SWT text widget. It works find on windows OS. When i shift to AIX i can't use ctrl-c ctrl-v ctrl-x. Using Ctrl-Insert Shift-insert it works. But it don't give me uniform functionality. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.On AIX launch application with Editable text widget. 2.Enter some text inside. Select the text and try to do copy paste. 3.
Created attachment 178023 [details] test program from net.
Moving to SWT
(In reply to comment #2) > Moving to SWT Tried on solaris box it works as that of windows.
Does Ctrl+Insert / Shift+Insert work ?
As i said in problem description Ctrl-Insert Shift-insert it works. On Solaris i can see Ctrl-c Ctrl-v works for text. Just additonal info.
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.
Experts !!! any comments.

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).
