Hello

I'm trying to create a very simple plugin to make things uppercase and
lowercase. For that purpose, I extended the popupmenu extension point -
using the viewercontribution, which is working through the popupmenu new
item selection. However, I would like to use a key combination to activate
the action, so I extended the command extension point, defined a keybinding
for it and associated the action from the viewer contribution to this
command through the definitionId tag. Doesn't work! Am I forgeting something
? maybe some necessary programming step ?

Any help will be appreciated.

Nuno

Nothing strikes me as being wrong in what you are doing. Could you perhaps
attach a code snippet showing what you are trying to do?

cheers,

By the way, what do you mean by not work? Do you mean the keyboard shortcut
doesn't appear beside the item in the pop-up menu? Do you mean that you
can't use the keyboard shortcut?

In "plugin.xml", you might to use this instead:

<keyBinding
commandId="pt.nuno.eclipse.plugintest3.command.textToUpperCase "
contextId="org.eclipse.ui.contexts.window"
keySequence="M1+B"
keyConfigurationId="org.eclipse.ui.defaultAcceleratorConfiguration ">
</keyBinding>

Also, try moving this line into the constructor of ToUpperCaseAction:

action.setActionDefinitionId("pt.nuno.eclipse.plugintest3.command.textToUpperCase ");

cheers,
d.
