[plt-scheme] vi mode and editor questions

Hello,

 Correct me if i am wrong , but this is my understanding :

 If you override default on-char in editor-canvas% and not pass the
event to text% then it
 will not receive the event. In any case text% is derived from object%
and any key
 event has to be passed to it explicitly to it, which is what is done
by default on-char
 method of editor-canvas%.

Key handling Code:

(define (do-char who event)
  (printf
   "~s : Control? ~a  key? ~a\n"
   who (send event get-control-down)
   (send event get-key-code)))

(define frame
  (new frame%
       [label "Key Processing"]
       [width 300] [height 300]))

(define ed%
  (class editor-canvas%
    (super-new)

    (define/override (on-char event)
      (do-char "ed%:on-char :" event)
      (send (send this get-editor) on-char event))

    (define/override (on-subwindow-char receiver event)
      (do-char "ed%:on-subwindow-char :" event)
      #f)))

(define my-text%
  (class text%
    (super-new)
    (define/override (on-default-char event)
      (do-char "my-text%" event))))

(define text-object (new my-text%))
(define my-ed (new ed% [parent frame] [editor text-object]))
(send frame show #t)
