R3.2.1 (WinXP) to be precise
I have a bunch, some standard, some not; they were all working fine in 3.1.2, per the nice guide at
http://www.magma.ca/~pollockd/despumate/bindingsHowTo.html
As soon as I migrated to 3.2.1, and without having touched that part of the plugin.xml, the bindings
no longer work (and they are not displayed in the menu), until the user goes to Window -> Customize
Perspective -- it is not necessary actually to *do* anything in that dialogue, the bindings just
appear and become active after looking at it.
Is there something new in 3.2 that I need to do, is there something more I should have been doing in
3.1.2 and now my luck has run out, or is this an unintended side-effect/ bug in 3.2.1?
thanks,
Paul

Currently I do not get deterministic behavior (sometimes the RCP comes up as described, sometimes it
*does* have all the bindings without the user having to open the Window -> Customize Perspective
dialog); the difference occurs without my having changed a thing in my code (java or xml). Weird.
But no point yet in opening a bug, thanks.
Meanwhile:
a) I never used IKeyBindingService at all.
b) I have several cases, some of which have handlers, most do not.
c) I call IActionBars.setGlobalActionHandler() for edit-actions (CTTL-C and the like) -- in the
editor, and in various text-action-handlers.
For example, I have "open"/CTRL-O and "new"/CTRL-N in one action-set, both using definitionId and a
command (and no Java code in my ActionBarAdvisor, and no action-handlers anywhere); CTRL-N uses an
existing binding (by using an org.eclipse definitionId) and CTRL-O uses one of my own:
<!--
The two extensions 'commands' and 'bindings' must precede
the extension "org.eclipse.ui.actionSets"
-->
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.commands">
<command
categoryId="org.eclipse.ui.category.file"
description="Open a saved query"
id="com.mun.ist.app.commands.OpenQuery"
name="Open Query"/>
</extension>
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.bindings">
<key
commandId="com.mun.ist.app.commands.OpenQuery"
contextId="org.eclipse.ui.contexts.window"
schemeId="org.eclipse.ui.defaultAcceleratorConfiguration"
sequence="M1+O"/>
</extension>
<!-- must come after the command and binding definitions above -->
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.actionSets">
<actionSet
description="Opening or creating files"
id="com.mun.ist.app.fileActionSet"
label="Query-File Action Set"
visible="false">
<action
class="com.mun.ist.app.actions.OpenQueryAction"
definitionId="com.mun.ist.app.commands.OpenQuery"
icon="icons/open.PNG"
id="com.mun.ist.app.actions.OpenQuery"
label="&Open Query..."
menubarPath="file/fileStart"
state="false"
style="push"
toolbarPath="file/fileStart"
tooltip="Open an existing query"/>
<!-- by reusing the id of the Eclipse-defined action,
we arrange to retarget its accelerator, per
http://www.magma.ca/~pollockd/despumate/bindingsHowTo.html
-->
<action
class="com.mun.ist.app.actions.NewQueryAction"
definitionId="org.eclipse.ui.newWizard"
icon="icons/newQuery.PNG"
id="com.mun.ist.app.actions.NewQuery"
label="&New Query..."
menubarPath="file/fileStart"
state="false"
style="push"
toolbarPath="file/fileStart"
tooltip="Create a new query"/>
</actionSet>
</extension>
Comments welcome -- I could well be doing something sub-standard! :)
thanks,
Paul

Paul, that command/binding/action for CTRL+O look correct to me.
Another thing I can suggest in the name of gathering information is to
run with some tracing options ...
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Platform_Command_Framework #Tracing_Option
If you use handlers.verbose restrict it to your commandId,
com.mun.ist.app.commands.OpenQuery
When you press your keys you should get lines like:
KEYS >>> Listener.handleEvent(type = KeyDown, stateMask = 0x60000,
keyCode = 0x74, time = 11308037, character = 0x14)
KEYS >>> WorkbenchKeyboard.press(potentialKeyStrokes = [CTRL+SHIFT+T])
KEYS >>> WorkbenchKeyboard.executeCommand(commandId =
'org.eclipse.jdt.ui.navigate.open.type', parameters = {})
In 3.2.x there is a bug on linux that sometimes will kill all of the
keybindings (it's a shell activation bug).
Later,
PW
