Hi,

I have the same problem. I defined my own context and scheme. But now i need to support working without a mouse. So i have the problem, that i need a shortcut for choosing views like the CTRL+F7 shortcut. I could implement a function like that but isn´t it more beautiful to use the existing functionality?

My question: How can i realize that? For me i see the following ways:
1. Taking the eclipse-action (Where is that action defined?) and integrating this action via extensions in my application. Is that useful?

2. Writing an own action. The fast way but it does not satisfy me....

Any other idea? Some links or articles?

Thanks

André

Found this nice link: http://www.eclipsezone.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=9203 8431&#92038431

(Sometimes defining another search condition is very helpful.......)

So i now did this way and defined a command and i binding with the id org.eclipse.ui.window.nextView. That works!

The only question i now have: Is it possible to define the action not hardcoded but over extension point?

Thanx

André

To get most of those actions, you use ActionFactory in your application
action bar advisor. If you create and register(*) it, it will be
available for the appropriate command.
