Hi,
Searched through the archive, but didn't find a similar post to my problem.
I'm trying to add a key binding for an existing command
(com.foo.bar.command1) which can be invoked from the context menu of an
editor or a selected resource in the Project Explorer.
After added the following lines in my plugin.xml, the "Ctrl+C Ctrl+H"
appears on the context menu next to the label of the command.
<key
commandId="com.foo.bar.command1"
contextId="org.eclipse.ui.contexts.window"
schemeId="org.eclipse.ui.defaultAcceleratorConfiguration"
sequence="M1+C M1+H">
</key>
But it works only if I click the key binding in an editor. If I try to
use the key bindings when select a resource in the Project Explorer,
there is no effect. Selecting the menu item using mouse does invoke the
command.
A coworker tried this in her workspace, and it worked in both editor and
Project Explorer!!
Would any environment setting impact the key binding behavior? Any idea
what to check?
This happens with Eclipse 3.3 on Linux.
Thanks
Maggie

Hi Paul,
Thanks for the useful tips. The answers to your questions are "yes".
After further debugging, we realized that neither mouse click nor short
cut work if the file is selected in CDT's Project Explorer. They both
work fine in the Navigator view or the JDT's Package Explorer.
This observation helped us to track down a bug in how we cast the
selected element. In stead of static casting the selected element from
Object to IFile, we should have done a dynamic casting using an Adapter.
Now both short cut and mouse click work in CDT's Project Explorer perfectly.
Thanks
Maggie
