I posted this to newcommers and someone suggested I post it here.

I am having a couple problems with
'org.eclipse.ui.actions.TextActionHandler' and I think one of them is a
bug and another is somewhere in between. I would like to go to the right
newsgroup to discuss it first then if it is a problem and not just me
using it improperly to file the proper bug and feature requests.

Thanks for your help pointing me in the right direction,
~jake

--:DETAILS:--
**************************
The potential bug is that if I do the following when creating an
editorPart:
-----------
textActionHandler = new
TextActionHandler(this.getViewSite().getActionBars());
textActionHandler.setSelectAllAction(copyAction);
textActionHandler.addText(textbox1);
textActionHandler.addText(textbox1);
.....
setFocus(){viewer.getControl()}
-------------
I cannot get the editor to recognize my copy command for the viewer till I
click on a registered text box for the actionhandler and then click back
to the viewer. I think it has to do with the fact that the
TextActionHandler automatically registers the last added Text control as
the 'activeControl' and throws listeners on it. The only way to get the
listeners deactivated and return control to the registered copyAction is
to activate and deactivate one of the registered Text controls added to
the TextActionHandler. **************************
This is the what I am using to solve the problem for now.
// FIXME: Dirty Dirty Hack to deactivate the text control from the
textActionHandler
// Create temp swt text for the purposes of adding and removing it from
textactionhandler
// This will cause the activeTextController to be set to null
Text aText = new Text( partComposite, SWT.NONE );
getTextActionHandler().addText( aText );
getTextActionHandler().removeText( aText );

// Since I don't want this text as part of the part I need to hide it now
and relayout
GridData gd = (GridData) aText.getLayoutData();
if (gd != null) {
gd.exclude = true;
}
aText.setVisible( false );
aText.setEnabled( false );
partComposite.layout();

********************
Related feature requests for Text Action Handler:
The only time that the TextActionHandler registers its actions via
'actionBar.setGlobalActionHandler()' is in its constructor. If somehow I
accidently or purposely register something else temporarily with the
globalActionHandler there is no way for me to reregister the
TextActionHandler actions no method along the lines of
(textActionHandler.registerGlobalActions()). Also there is no method to
deactivate/unset the the activeTextControl in the TextActionHandler along
the lines of (textActionHandler.setActiveTextControl(null))
