Attach menu-item to function-key [message #675841]

Hello,

I have a plugin which adds some menu-items that execute some code of my plugin. That works.
I also added/binded a function-key to those menu-items, for example :
sequence="M1+6"> which is Ctrl-6
sequence="M1+7"> which is Ctrl-7
sequence="M2+2"> which is Shift-2
That also works fine; pressing the function-key executes the code.

But what I want is not to use the Shift-2 but the F1-key (and for others the F2, F4 key etc). When I change the sequence to :
sequence="F2>
it doesn't work.

How do I fix/do this ?

Thx.

I managed to do it, but not via my plugin.
Manually removing everything binded to the F2-key (via Preferences, General, Keys), and then binding F2 only to my own Command.

When I do above for the F1-key it doesn't work fully (might be a bug). When pressing the F1-key my own handler executes, but also a Help-screen pops up. It looks like the F1-key is in the "hart" of Eclipse ... but it should work like all function-keys: do what is configured.
