trouble with keybinding in fragment [message #732154]

I'm trying to contribute a keybinding from a model fragment. All the other fragments in the plugin appear to work correctly, including commands, handlers and handledmenuitems. But the keybindings aren't working.

I've got an app with only one BindingContext, and one BindingTable in that context. In my model fragment I'm contributing to the bindings feature of the app's "BindingTable. I can invoke the bound command via a contributed HandledMenuItem but not via the KeyBinding.

Keybinding in the main plugin works ok.

Any suggestions what could be going wrong or how to go about debugging keybindings?

Hi,

So does the contribution end up in the merged model, is it connected to
a command? You can simply check this by adding the live model editor to
your launch config:
* org.eclipse.e4.tools.emf.liveeditor
* org.eclipse.e4.tools.emf.ui
* org.eclipse.e4.tools.emf.ui.script.js
* Hit "Add Require Plugins"

When you launched your app you can bring up the live view of the model
using ALT+SHIFT+F9 which is the same editor you used to create your
initial model but has some additional runtime features (e.g. execution
of JavaScript, Object-Tree inspection, SWT-Tree inspection)

Thanks for the response Tom. I tried as you suggested and the results were interesting.

The ALT+SHIFT+F9 binding didn't work, so I added a command for e4.tooling.livemodel and added it to a menuitem, all in the main app. Once I do this the keybinding for ALT+SHIFT+F9 works, as well as the menu item.

When I bring up the view of the model, I see the binding for ALT+SHIFT+F9 as well as my problem keybindings, all in the binding table of my app.

Why is it that I needed to add the command and menu item to get the keybinding to work?

The keybinding I was trying to use was 'w'. For some reason, I tried replacing that with 'W' and suddenly it works. It responds to both w and SHIFT+w. Apparently lowercase letters are never valid as keybindings. Might be nice if the keybinding editor only allowed uppercase.

Strange do you have the BindingContext assigned to your Window-Element?

Looks that way. I've only got the one rootContext, and it's set on my TrimmedWindow.

Looks like it is connected to this problem:
http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/550175/

I also discovered it a few days ago (same problem, Live Editor could not be started anymore with key binding due to org.eclipse.ui.workbench plugin). Solution is currently to tag all key bindings with type:user which of course is not possible for key bindings defined by the live editor.
