Hi,
I just tried to use the TextActionHandler but in my 3.1.1
org.eclise.ui.workbench it is not at it's place. Has it been moved?

Ok, I found it finally. It's in the IDE package. But can someone explain
to me why this is related to IDE?

workbench = menus, views, editors, parts, key bindings, preferences, etc.
ide = text editors, resources, markers, etc.



cheers,

Uh, I too wanted to use TextActionHandler (in an RCP app), so I was disappointed and surprised to
see that it is part of IDE -- and I don't see why something that retargets keystrokes to attach to
the popup-menus of SWT widgets (e.g.) should be part of IDE. Why is TextActionHandler considered
among the set {text editors, resources, markers, etc.}?

Off to try and copy a whole class ... as far as I can tell, so far, the only actual dependency of
TextActionHandler on the IDE stuff os for a variety of Strings, which does not (to me) seem
essential enough to force such a useful and reusable class into IDE. Or?

thanks,
Paul K

I'd suggest an enhancement request in bugzilla.

Good idea; as soon as I manage to grok TAH well enough to ask for that in a sensible way, I'll do
it. Meanwhile, my copied class compiles ok (eliminated help-ids, hardwired Strings for the others),
but I seem not be using it correctly, since the Ctrl-A/C/V/X accelerators in my app do not hook to
the popup-menu on the Text to which I attach the TAH. Will keep at it ...

thanks,
Paul
