Action.setAccelerator() has no effect [message #231787]

hi,

I am having troubles binding my global actions to accelerator-keys.

<code>
public static Action CUT = new Action() {
public void runWithEvent(Event event) {
logger.debug("running action: CUT");
Control c = event.display.getFocusControl();
if (c instanceof Text) {
Text text = (Text) c;
text.cut();
}
}
};

public static void init() {
CUT.setAccelerator(SWT.CTRL | 'x');
}

public static void registerActions(IActionBars actionBars) {
actionBars.setGlobalActionHandler(ActionFactory.CUT.getId(),
GlobalActions.CUT);
}
</code>

does not work. I can access this action pressing CTRL+SHIFT+X, but I can
do so even if I don't call <code>CUT.setAccelerator(SWT.CTRL | 'x');</code>

What am I doing wrong?

thanks
Maka

I think I forgot to mention some things (:
I am
<> using eclipse3.0M8 as RCP
<> using my own editor 'class FormEditor extends EditorPart'
<> I do have to implement the Actions (even CUT, COPY etc.) for my own
<> not able to set the accelerator-keys for some reason

again the code:
<code>
public static Action CUT = new Action() {
public void runWithEvent(Event event) {
logger.debug("running action: CUT");
Control c = event.display.getFocusControl();
if (c instanceof Text) {
Text text = (Text) c;
text.cut();
}
}
};

public static void init() {
CUT.setAccelerator(SWT.CTRL | 'x');
}

public static void registerActions(IActionBars actionBars) {
actionBars.setGlobalActionHandler(ActionFactory.CUT.getId(),
GlobalActions.CUT);
}
</code>

any ideas?

I can report that I am struggling with the exact same problem. I am also
using M8 with RCP. Any answers would be greatly appreciated! :D

I had the same problem. Deleting the configuration directory helped. Don't
ask me for the real cause, cause I don't have a clue.
