Overriding Ctrl-W behavior [message #1115740] Tue, 24 September 2013 10:11 Go to next message

Hello,

In my E4 app, I'd like to bind a command to the M1+W shortcut, which should translate to Ctrl-W on Windows.

I have created a Binding Context with the ID "org.eclipse.ui.contexts.window", and a KeyBinding that links the shortcut and the command. The KeyBinding has the ID "org.eclipse.ui.file.close".


Unfortunately, when I launch my app and do a Ctrl-W, I see a little popup at the lower left of the screen with two possible actions. One is "Close", which is the default command, and the other is the command that I have bound to the shortcut.

Is there something more that I should override?

Thanks for your help!

You should likely remove the original default command (or at least its key-binding) to get rid of the conflict.

Hello Eric,

Thanks for your answer.

Is there a way to do that from the e4xmi file, or should I do it programmatically? If I have to do it programmatically, where is the best place to do it? In an Addon? Or in a PostContruct of a class that I declare as "lifeCycleURI" in the product?

Also, shouldn't the binding framework manage the presence of multiple bindings with the same ID? I would have expected that if I set a binding up with that ID, it would take precedance over the existing default binding.
