I'm using a TableViewer in my class which extends EditorPart, TableViewer has one
editable column which has ComboBoxCellEditor. When I modify the column to select a value from ComboBoxCellEditor, the save button doesn't get enabled until a tab key is pressed, or when the focus is moved to a different item. Is there any way that I can get the save to be enabled when I modify the value of ComboBoxCellEditor. I'm extending EditingSupport class to make the column editable. The overridden medthods from this class are not called until the focus is shifted away from this column. Is there any way that I can get this work?

That is how ComboBoxCellEditor is designed to work. The internal method applyEditorValueAndDeactivate is only called on Tab, Enter, and focus lost.
None of this behavior looks easy to modify other than by writing your own version of the class (which is not large).
