Hi,
It's easy to add and register actions in the ApplicationActionBarAdvisor but I can't figure out how to do it in the editor context when an EditorActionBarContributor is used to contribute editor actions. There doesn't seem to be a register() method and I can't seem to find a way to get a suitable IKeyBindingService.
I need to register the action to activate the key binding.
Thanks!
Peter

Your code looks decent. Does your filterAction.getId() return null?
Does your filterAction have an actionDefinitionID defined as well? Is
there a matching command somewhere?
If the editor doesn't start up, what error did it give? Also, you
should probably be doing your setGlobalActionHandler(*) in the
setActiveEditor(*) method. Get the subclasses of
EditorActionBarContributor (F4) and see how they set up actions.
Later,
