    One approach is to set up a two widget layout. Create one component for holding the terminal screen (non-editable) and a Text widget that holds your input and is editable.
    Following API should give you an idea on how to implement this behavior:

    • Every Text widget has a setEditable(boolean) method to set wether it can be edited or not.

    • You can pass constants from class SWT to the constructor. Ex.:

      new Text(shell, SWT.SINGLE) // creates single line text field
new Text(shell, SWT.MULTI)  // crates a multi line text field

    • Maybe adding a KeyListener will help you.
