Accelerator keys

Hi all

I have an RCP application with different actions on it, the problem I am having is setting up shortcut keys for those actions. My application is running on Eclipse 3.0.

My xml file look like this:

<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.commands">
<command
name="Undo all Modifications"
description="Undo all Modifications"
categoryId="UserManagementWorkStation.commands"
id="com.vastech.ngmc.rcp.umws.views.ICommandIds.CMD_OPEN_MESSAGE">
</command>
<keyBinding
string= "CTRL+2"
commandId="com.vastech.ngmc.rcp.umws.views.ICommandIds.CMD_OPEN_MESSAGE"
configuration="org.eclipse.ui.defaultAcceleratorConfiguration">
</keyBinding>
</extension>

I understand that somehow we need to register the action in the .java file and I am not sure how to do that, I did have something like this setActionDefinitionId(ICommandIds.CMD_OPEN_MESSAGE);
setId(ICommandIds.CMD_OPEN_MESSAGE); but the short pressing ctrl+2 nothing happens. I will be happy if someone who understand dealing with shortcut keys can take me through them or refer me to articles. Thanks in advance.

Please do not cross-post. Thanks.

Hi,

We've got a forum devoted to SWT/JFace issues (and Swing and AWT, too) which is really where this question belongs; I'll move it there for you.
