binding keys to commands? [message #270758] Sun, 10 May 2009 00:57 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Hi. Using Window > Preferences > General > Keys I added a Binding of
Ctrl+F2 for the command "Terminate and Relaunch" When= "In Dialogs and
Windows" Category: "Run/Debug", User U.

But Ctrl+F2 never does anything. Any hints?

Also: is there any way to tell eclipse to stop using context-dependent
key bindings? Is it possible to configure eclipse to us only global
commands? The default system is very inefficient, many operations take
three keys: get out of this window, go to that view, run this command.

Thanks for any suggestions!

What OS are you running? I know on Linux, X-Windows will capture some
key events before they ever get to Eclipse. This may be true on Windows
too. So if the OS has mapped this keybinding, then Eclipse will never
know the key combination was hit.
