Moving editparts through keyboard [message #78014]

Hi,

what would be the easiest way to create functionality that enables
user to move editparts through keyboard? That is, when editpart is
selected and user presses up-arrow, the selected editpart moves
up by one pixel. Should I map the keystroke to certain action by using
KeyHandler.put(), or is there an easier way to implement this?

This functionality already exists and you avoid being different unless there
is a strong reason.

Press the period key once to navigate to the MOVE handle. Then use the
Arrow Keys, followed by ENTER to commit the move

Ah, but this was exactly what I was looking for. Man, it is nice
to program Eclipse / GEF when co-workers think that I'm some
sort of wizard when I can create new functionality to my editors instantly
:-)
