Key binding sequence in label [message #335802]

Hello,

When I define a key binding via org.eclipse.ui.bindings extension point,
the shortcut sequence does not show up in the label of the menu item. How
can I add the sequence to the label? I am pretty sure sequence appears
there not because of direct manipulation of the label.

thanks,
Alex

Is there a conflict for your keybinding?

I don't think so, the binding is M1+I D. How would I know if there is a
conflict?
I also tried M1+Z D and same result.

How are you defining your menu item? If using org.eclipse.ui.menus, it
should show up for free. If you are using org.eclipse.ui.actionSets you
would need to set the definitionId. If you are creating IActions
programmatically, you would use setActionDefinitionId(*) (but then how
are you tying this to the command?)
