Hi,

We no longer support MD 1.0 - I recommend you use a more recent
version of MonoDevelop, so you can simply add the [ToolboxItem]
attribute to GTK widget subclasses in code.

Why do you want to override OnKeyPressEvent - why not use the event?
You can use [Glib.ConnectBefore] on your event handler to have your
handler connect before the textview's own handler.
