[solved] how to find current context for key bindings? [message #1805101]

[solved by adding *.rc to the c/c++ file types setting and restarting editor.]

hi. i'm trying to modify the default key configuration with some user changes.

i'm using eclipse for rust

eg: i want ctrl+p for line up and ctrl+n for line down.

i modify and apply changes, and it works for text files (.txt) but not for rust source code (.rc).

when i look in the "when" category, there are dozens of options!

some of the other commands that work, such as "add block comment" have three "when" bindings...

C/C++ Editor
Editing in Structured Text Editors
Editing Text

so i tried my bindings with all three "when" conditions and it still doesn't work.
also, i made sure there are no conflicts, and tried with several different keys.

so how can i find the "when" condition that applies to my current file type?
