I have created a custom editor for a language that my work uses (which currently has no IDE). I have the auto format working and i have a context menu item that lets you trigger it by using the doOperation(ISourceViewer.FORMAT); command. This works fine. The issue i'm having is that i can't determine how to cause the ctrl + shift + f to cause this action to occur on my editor. I have tried adding a Format option under Window->Preferences->General->Keys and making the shortcut be applied when in windows which is what i have found from searching on google, but it won't trigger my formatter. I am having trouble finding information for how to do this on google or mabye i'm just doing something wrong. Has anyone done this before?

Take a look at how it's done in the Java editor. You have to define a
command and a key binding in your plugin.xml.
