I am using the org.eclipse.ui.menus extension to define some context menu
commands and I have a pair of items that are mutually exclusive WRT their
visibleWhen expressions and their handler's activeWhen/enableWhen
ecpressions. I would like to be able to assign the same key binding to
each, but I cannot get past the key binding conflict. Is there anything in
the extension points that would allow this, or is there a programmatic way
to get past this?

Hi Paul,
Thanks for this suggestion. I ended up using a single
command/handler/binding, and used the dynamic contribution mechanism to
set different strings in the menu based on the state of the selection. The
handler also used this state to route to the desired behavior.
