Content Assist shortcut - am I losing my mind? [message #332224]

I've created a custom editor, and an IContentAssistProcessor that's been
set for all the appropriate partition types. Auto-activation works fine,
but Ctrl+Space doesn't trigger code completion.

Is there something I need to do to configure this to work? If not, what
could I have done to *stop* it from working?

Yes you need to register the action for the command. Look at
org.eclipse.ui.texteditor.ContentAssistAction and how it is setup by the
Java editor for example.

Also, this FAQ may help.

Dani, are there any plans to create a command/handler/something that
won't require people to pass in their own ResourceBundles? I think this
will help reduce duplicated code and make localization easier.

No plans but if there's a bug I might consider ;-)
