Key binding in a dialog [message #460345]

Hi everybody!
I have a view and it retargets an action which has a key binding. Let us
say that when F5 is pressed in that view something happens. What happens
is that an instance of org.eclipse.jface.dialogs.PopupDialog is opened.
But when I press F5 when dialog appears the key is no processed and
retargeting action is not executed!
Is there a way to deal with this? I do not want to add a key listener to
dialog because key sequence might be changed using keyPreference page.
Anyway thanks very much for your help!

Well, partial solution is to not take focus (create popup dialog with
takeFocusOnOpen = false), but I still want to key binding work when the
dialog gets focus anyway.

keybindings are tied to contexts ... if you context is
org.eclipse.ui.contexts.window then that keybinding won't be active when
the dialog is up.

You would need to add a keybinding for the dialog context, or put your
keybinding in the dialogAndWindows context.

You can use the tracing options at
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Platform_Command_Framework #Tracing_Option
to see if your keybinding is accepted and if you command is handled and
enabled.

A, okay. It is this one
