Mnemonics underscore [message #26099] Mon, 13 October 2008 03:35 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Hi

Is there a way to change Mnemonics underscore (menu alphabet show with
underscore sign when user presses ‘Alt’ key. Used to select the menu
through keyboard)

Like, I want to change the mnemonics for 'Close All' menu (File -> Close
All) to 'C' from its current as 'l'

Thanks in advance for your inputs!

Cheers!
Anup

I do not believe that there is. Eclipse allows you to add
functionality, but you cannot remove or change existing functionality.

If you're talking about the Eclipse IDE, rather than an RCP app, then
I'm a little concerned that you even want to do this. Doing so would
confused users who are used to the existing behavior.

Hi

Thanks for your reply Simon. Yes, you are right, I wanted to do this
changes for Lotus Expeditor (Its a Eclipse based tool.) and not for the
Eclipse IDE.

I am just wondering if we can just re-write the Close All menu using
'org.eclipse.ui.actionSets' extension point and mentioning all attributes
value same as might be defined by Eclipse. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks
Anup

I do not know. But it sounds unlikely. Replacing anything in Eclipse,
where not directly supported, is typically problematic.
