I looked at this today and noticed this weirdness: if the currently selected workbench part (before initiating a search) is an editor the the paste gets ignored by the searchbox and instead gets pushed into the editor. On the other hand, if the currently selected part is the library explorer the paste goes to the searchbox, proper and expected.

The plot thickens...

The root of this issue is how the workbench handles "global" commands (and bindings) such as copy/paste. The rub is that the active part gets first whack at handling a dispatch (chain of command style) before the focus control. This is not good because the editor (and other views) have their own idea(s) of how to handle copy/paste and so the searchbox never gets a chance. To play nice with the workbench the searchbox would need to act more like a workbench part and be a first class participant in the command-handling story. Unfortunately, the workbench model is not flexible re: part implementatiosn and there's no good story for parts that are neither views or editors. "Faking it" might be possible but doing so necessitates a sprawling, complex and surprising solution. To boot, I'm not 100% convinced it would even work. Especially if we stray to Eclipse 4* where the workbench model has gotten a pretty major re-think. (FWIW: if anyone wants to explore this further, chime in, have at and we can revisit!)

So, where does that leave us?

The good news is there's a pretty simple errrr hack that will get us the UX we want. The trick is to notice focus changes and disconnect the global binding service when the searchbox has key focus, careful to re-connect when focus goes away.

I've got this implemented and have been banging on it a fair a bit and haven't experienced any hiccups. I'll put out a CL soon for popular consumption and we can go from there. Net-net: I don't love the solution, but I dislike it less than the alternatives...
