Problems regarding the mapping of key bindings with the EMF Model [message #508515]

The plugin XML i am currently using is the following, this was working fine in RCP :-

<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.bindings">
<key
commandId="com.myproj.commands.playOrStopAudio"
contextId="com.myproj.contexts.speechmarker"
schemeId="org.eclipse.ui.defaultAcceleratorConfiguration"
sequence="CTRL+SPACE">
</key>
</extension>

<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.commands">
<category
id="com.myprj.commands.category.telisma"
name="some name">
</category>
<command
categoryId="com.myproj.commands.category.telisma"
id="com.myproj.commands.playOrStopAudio"
name="Play/Stop Audio">
</command>
</extension>

<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.editorActions">
<editorContribution
id="com.telisma.sca.editorActions.spmEditorContribution"
targetID="com.myproj.AgEditorID">
<action
class="com.myproj.action.PlayOrStopAudioEditorActionDelegate "
definitionId="com.myproj.commands.playOrStopAudio"
id="com.myproj.editorActions.playOrStopAudio"
label="Play/Stop Audio">
</action>
</editorContribution>
</extension>

<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.editors">
<editor
id="com.myproj.AgEditorID"
name="%_UI_AgEditor_label"
icon="icons/full/obj16/AgModelFile.gif"
extensions="ag"
class="com.myproj.AgEditor"
contributorClass="com.myproj.AgActionBarContributor">
</editor>
</extension>

the action classes are working perfectly fine when called by a menu command and effects the emf model, but the key bindings dont have any such effect as the action itself is not called.

Please provide a solution as how to associate key bindings with the workbench commands(i.e. actions). I have also read somewhere that workbench commands were intoduced only in Eclipse v3.1, this doesnt seem to be a problem as we use latest EMF v3.5. Any help provided will be deeply appreciated.

Thanks in advance
Rahul

Rahul,

I know nothing about how key bindings work. Perhaps you're registering
one that's a conflict. In the preferences one can bind keys dynamically
so maybe have a look if you can control it there...
