Hi everybody,
I already started a similar topic without success, so I try it again with new information.

My problem is that my customer wants keyboard shortcuts for the context menu in the generated EMF editor.

The answers in my last thread told me that this would be done automatically....but it wasn´t. There are only shortcuts for REDO and UNDO, but not for Cut COPY and Paste.

Just like at this picture.....you can google....on all screenshots found there is not CTRL C / V / X bound.

Does nobody know how you man bind these three actions to such a shortcut ? I become desperate.

Ok, after hacking EMF, Eclipse and Windows 7 I found a way.....

For each action in your menu, define a command with an id and define a binding to the shortcut you want in your plugin.xml. Then, when you create the action in your ActionBarAdvisor, don't set the accelerator. Set the IAction.setActionDefinitionId(*) to the command id and call register(action);

Now you have the Shortcut displayed in the context menu and it is also bound to the key comb......in my case I had to enter "M1+V" as key sequence to work as "CTRL+V"...dont know why.

If there is a better way or somebody knows that this causes problems...I `ll to this thread for a few days.
