Can one retrieve the keyboard shortcut bindings through the API? [message #72475]

Hi all.

I'd like to be able to retrieve the Eclipse keyboard shortcut bindings -
the 178 or so keyboard shortcuts listed when you hit Ctrl-Shift-L twice
in a row. Is there any way to do that? Or do I have to manually retype
them?

Your help is much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

- Phil

Found it (this might come out a bit messy):

IBindingService bindingService = (IBindingService)
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getAdapter(IBindingService.class);

bindingService.readRegistryAndPreferences( (ICommandService)
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getAdapter(ICommandService.class) );

Binding[] bindingList = bindingService.getBindings();

PrintWriter out;

try {
out = new PrintWriter( new BufferedWriter( new FileWriter("c:/foo2.out")
) );

out.write(
" Trigger\tcontext\tlocale\tplatform\tscheme\ttype\tclass\tpar ameterized\n "
);

for (int i = 0; i < bindingList.length; ++i) {

out.write(bindingList[i].getTriggerSequence().toString());
out.write("\t" + bindingList[i].getContextId());
out.write("\t" + bindingList[i].getLocale());
out.write("\t" + bindingList[i].getPlatform());
out.write("\t" + bindingList[i].getSchemeId());
out.write("\t" + bindingList[i].getType());
out.write("\t" + bindingList[i].getClass().toString());
if (bindingList[i].getParameterizedCommand() != null)
out.write( "\t" +
bindingList[i].getParameterizedCommand().getCommand().getId( ) );
else
out.write("\t" + bindingList[i].getParameterizedCommand());
/* necessary because some ParameterizedCommands are just null, so will
get a NullPointerException in those cases if one tries the command for
the "true" value */

out.write("\n");

} // end for

out.close();

} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

Just a note that the above line will reset all of your keybindings ...
and shouldn't really be necessary, since the IBindingService you get
from the workbench should be the global binding service and already have
the keybindings set correctly.

Other than that, good use of the IBindingService.

Later,
