How does a user use the keyboard to drag a palette item from the GEF palette to drop onto an editor?

the palette have only mouse listeners for drag and drop... and i dont think there are any API for implementing key listeners...
one way is to override the needed classes...

other way is do not use a palette itself.
implement key listener to your viewer...
like when you press 'A' when the editor is selected a given edit part will be created on a default location.

Thanks Sharad,

I'm wondering how the user uses the palette without a mouse which is a standard accessibility issue.
