Getting current KeyBinding in Handler's @Execute method [message #1722093]

Hello everyone!

I am migrating an Eclipse 3.x application to E4 and currently I'm working with KeyBindings and Handlers.

I wonder if it is possible to get the KeyBinding that launched the associated Handler. My Handler looks like the following:

    @Execute
    public void execute(@Optional MKeyBinding binding) {
        // Here binding is always null
    }

The reason why I would like to have the keybinding is that the same handler is shared between few other KeyBindings and the application logic depends on the current binding.

I'm aware that it is possible (and maybe suggested) to make every KeyBinding have it's own handler but I would not like to do that if necessary.

Thanks!

Look into using a command parameter to differentiate your cases. Your command can be invoked programmatically, so relying on a keybinding is not a good practice.
