Renaming EMF Editor with F2 [message #498054]

Hi,

I am trying to implement the keybinding F2 for a custom rename operation in the EMF editor (or, if there is already a rename functionality triggered by F2 this would be great too).

I added the command and a key binding for this command into my plugin.xml however I have to specify a context id. Now I wanted to try to create a context ID but I don't really know how.
I added the contexts extension point to my xml and tried to add it, but I don't know what the parentId for a EMF generated editor would be and the list poping up by clicking browse doesn't help me a lot.

Can anyone give me a hint on how to do this?

best regards,
artur

Artur,

I haven't a clue how to do this. Hopefully someone else will have an
idea...

Hi Artur!

Eclipse alreay defines a command and a keybinding for "rename". So you
could simply reuse this command and just define a custom handler that is
able to perform your custom renaming inside your editor.

Command-ID: org.eclipse.ui.edit.rename
Keybinding: F2

Example:
<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.handlers">
<handler class="<MY_RENAME_HANDLER_IMPLEMENTATION>"
commandId="org.eclipse.ui.edit.rename">
<enabledWhen>
<with variable="activeEditorId">
<equals value="<MY_EDITOR_ID>">
</equals>
</with>
</enabledWhen>
<activeWhen>
<with variable="activeEditorId">
<equals value="<MY_EDITOR_ID>">
</equals>
</with>
</activeWhen>
</handler>
</extension>
