Is there somewhere specified if there is the possibility in RAP to override the browser shortcut keys?
For example:
- F1 when editor focused - should open the context help of the editor
- Ctrl + S in editor - should save the editor
and so on.

Hi Bogdan,
we are working on keybindings support in RAP. See bug:
282449: Keybindings in RAP
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=282449
I hope that it will be available in 1.4M3.
F1 should work in RAP and triggers the helpListener.
HTH,
Ivan

F1 should work in RAP and triggers the helpListener.

I tested the F1 and it works, but with some difference than in SWT/RCP:

For example if I extend TrayDialog overriding configureShell() as follows:
@Override
    protected void configureShell(Shell shell) {
        super.configureShell(shell);
        PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getHelpSystem().setHelp(shell, "myContextId");
        setHelpAvailable(true);
    }

than a "?"-iconed help button is added to the button bar. If I press it, then the context help opens (in RAP I have contributed my Help UI by extending AbstractHelpUI)
Now if I press F1:
- in SWT/RCP: the context help opens no matter what widget contained by the TrayDialog is currently focused;
- in RAP: the context help opens ONLY if I previously focused the shell (clicked on the blue title bar of the dialog). But if I focus the containing Composite or any other widget inside it, the context help is not open.

Does this mean that in RAP I have to recursively call PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getHelpSystem().setHelp(myControl, "myContextId"); for all Controls inside my TrayDialog?

Since RCP seem to solve this automatically, shouldn't RAP also do it? Do you see this as a bug, or at least need for enhancement?

More:
- when an editor page is focused, F1 does not open its context help in RAP, but does it in SWT/RCP. The help context id was added to the Composite obtained by: FormPage.getManagedForm().getForm().getBody()

Hi Bogdan,
if your code works in RCP, but not in RAP it's probably a bug. Feel free
to file a bugzilla with a snippet to reproduce it.
Thanks,
Ivan
