Hi Jirka,

Oxygen support for creating Java plugins and deploying them in the 
"OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR/plugins" directory.

In our plugins development kit:
http://www.oxygenxml.com/developer.html#Developer_Plugins

there is a Workspace Access plugin type sample implementation 
(ro.sync.sample.plugin.workspace.CustomWorkspaceAccessPluginExtension).

Using a Workspace Access plugin you can register a listener to be 
notified when an editor in Oxygen is selected for example (or when the 
editor page is switched).

Here is one sample Java code approach to what you want, based on 
registering listeners both in the Author and the Text pages:

>           @Override
>           public void editorSelected(URL editorLocation) {
>             try {
>               WSEditor editorAccess = pluginWorkspaceAccess.getCurrentEditorAccess(StandalonePluginWorkspace.MAIN_EDITING_AREA);
>               if(editorAccess != null) {
>                 if(EditorPageConstants.PAGE_AUTHOR.equals(editorAccess.getCurrentPageID())){
>                   final WSAuthorEditorPage authorPage = (WSAuthorEditorPage) editorAccess.getCurrentPage();
>                   authorPage.getDocumentController().addAuthorListener(new AuthorListenerAdapter() {
>                     /**
>                      * @see ro.sync.ecss.extensions.api.AuthorListenerAdapter#contentInserted(ro.sync.ecss.extensions.api.DocumentContentInsertedEvent)
>                      */
>                     @Override
>                     public void contentInserted(DocumentContentInsertedEvent e) {
>                       try {
>                         if("-".equals(e.getInsertedText())) {
>                           //Look if there is another one to the left
>                           Segment seg = new Segment();
>                           authorPage.getDocumentController().getChars(e.getOffset() - 1, 1, seg);
>                           if("-".equals(seg.toString())) {
>                             //Remove both "-" and insert your own char.
>                             authorPage.getDocumentController().delete(e.getOffset() - 1, e.getOffset());
>                             authorPage.getDocumentController().insertText(e.getOffset() - 1, "CUSTOM_REPLACEMENT");
>                           }
>                         }
>                       } catch(Exception ex) {
>                         ex.printStackTrace();
>                       }
>                     }
>                   });
>                 } else  if(EditorPageConstants.PAGE_TEXT.equals(editorAccess.getCurrentPageID())){
>                   final WSTextEditorPage textPage = (WSTextEditorPage) editorAccess.getCurrentPage();
>                   textPage.getDocument().addDocumentListener(new DocumentListener() {
>                     public void removeUpdate(DocumentEvent e) {
>                     }
>                     public void insertUpdate(DocumentEvent e) {
>                       // TODO About the same approach as in the Author page.
>                     }
>                     public void changedUpdate(DocumentEvent e) {
>                     }

The sample is not complete, you have to remove listeners when another 
editor is selected and also add them when the editor page changes.
