Listening to Workbench Actions [message #56228]

Hi,
I want to listen to all workbench actions for menus and popup menus
(before or after they are performed - doesn't matter).

Is this possible? I have been looking around the API etc but it doesn't
look like it.

I've been searching through the archives and it doesn't look like its
possible for me to do this. Others have asked similar questions in the
past.

What I wanted was to write a plugin that would record menu use. The
results would be displayed in a simple view ordered by the number of times
the menu has been used, together with its key binding if it has one.

This would allow people to learn the key bindings for the menu items they
use the most.

Any ideas how this could be done?

There is no API to do this right now. You can open a bug report against
