Interestingly, the text area where you edit on Eclipse is pure
Java ... Most of the surrounding controls are native, though.
It is an SWT thing, though. I believe it's literally the case that
there is no triple-click event (it's a double followed by a single, I
think?). There are open bugs for it, but not a lot of movement to
fix it.
I'm also still not used to the new mac keyboard navigation :)
