Hi,
It seems eclipse contains N possible methods to perform keybinding
(unfortunately I haven't made one of these work yet),
so I'm asking if someone could show me the few magic steps that is
required to simply add a key binding (e.g. Ctrl+Enter)
to my own action (defined in an actionset) when my specific Editor is
activated ?
Thank you!

You can import the plug-ins (all those that you require) as binary
projects and then use the search dialog to find all contexts in the
plugin.xml files.

OK, then I suggest the following:
1. create your own scope that uses 'org.eclipse.ui.textEditorScope' as
parent
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.contexts">
<context
name="YOUR.name"
description="YOUR.description"
parentId="org.eclipse.ui.textEditorScope"
id="YOUR.id">
</context>
</extension>
2. add the following method to your editor:
/*
* @see
org.eclipse.ui.texteditor.AbstractDecoratedTextEditor#initia lizeKeyBindingScopes()
*/
protected void initializeKeyBindingScopes() {
setKeyBindingScopes(new String[] { "YOUR.id" }); //$NON-NLS-1$
}
3. use YOUR.id when defining the commands for your editor
Enjoy!

Thank you! That was the missing part of the puzzle!
It works like a charm.
