You're right. I think of that layer as a filter: It receives events
(keystrokes, perhaps mouse-events?), and delegates them to either
eclipse or vim. That's because I would like to keep the possibility to
use eclipse shortcuts like Ctrl-Shift-O or Ctrl-Shift-F, or holding the
Control-Key to make java-code-elements "hyperlinks". On the other hand
Ctrl-W closes the eclipse editor immediatly, but I would like to manage
a splitted vim-window with "Ctrl-W..". 

In theory this sounds easy, but atm I have no idea howto realize it ...
I guess one has to delve deeper into eclipse to write something that
catches _all_ such events.

Seems there is an extension point and api for that kind of feature. :-)
