QuickAssist for editors other than the Java Editor [message #753481] Thu, 27 October 2011 08:42 Go to next message

Hi,
as I found out the QuickAssist feature is only available and extendible
for the Java Editor. So select some piece of code and press Ctrl+1 then
the QuickAssist pop-up pops up. Now my question is if it is possible to
implement such quick assists for other editors, too. Consider, e.g.,
some implemented refactorings for instances of a EMF metamodel. It would
be nice to provide them as quick assists depending in the selection, let
it be in a textual editor or the generated tree editor. Imaginable would
also be to provide quick assists for any selection of the workbench,
just depending what exactly was selected. Can you give me some pointers?

best regards,
Gilbert

I agree, I would also be interested in such a solution, especially for default text editor.

Extend the class org.eclipse.ui.editors.text.TextEditorActionContributor.
Specify the subclass in the contributorClass of the extension point="org.eclipse.ui.editors"

You can contribute IMarkerResolution that will be provided as quick fixes for markers (in the problems view and editors that display them if set up correctly). Other then that, each text editor may have its own support (as JDT does).
