DirectEditAction.calculateEnabled selection is always empty. [message #217067]

I am trying to hookup a keyhandler for a GraphicalEditorWithFlyoutPalette
and add DIRECT_EDIT. Is there a trick to setting the selection for the
DirectEditAction? (Note that using the mouse does work for directEdit, but
clicking F2 does not.)

Should I be setting a diferrent selectionprovider for this action ?

protected void configureGraphicalViewer() {
super.configureGraphicalViewer();
GraphicalViewer viewer = getGraphicalViewer();
myKeyHandler = new MyKeyHandler(viewer);
myKeyHandler.put(KeyStroke.getPressed(SWT.F2, 0),
getActionRegistry().getAction(GEFActionConstants.DIRECT_EDIT ));
viewer.setKeyHandler(myKeyHandler);

}

protected void createActions() {
super.createActions();
DirectEditAction action = new DirectEditAction((IWorkbenchPart)this);
getActionRegistry().registerAction(action);
getSelectionActions().add(action.getId());

}

The mouse selection does work but there, the clicks are sequenced quite weirdly, you can check the flow example to examine the mouse click sequences to identify the direct edit managers. You cud also altercate the REQ_OPEN request to incorporate the double click event for any item that does not use the REQ_OPEN req, just as follows:
/* (non-Javadoc)
* @see org.eclipse.gef.editparts.AbstractEditPart#performRequest(or g.eclipse.gef.Request)
*/
public void performRequest(Request request) {
if (request.getType() == RequestConstants.REQ_OPEN)
performDirectEdit();
else
super.performRequest(request);

}

None of the actions in GEF update enablement automatically. They must be
told to update by the editor. This is to prevent memory leaks.

However, enablement is lazy by default for that action. That means, when you
ask it if it is enabled, it will calculate its enabled status on the fly,
instead of always trying to keep it up-to-date.

Maybe the action doesn't have a selection provider?
