User defined key binding in e4 RCP [message #1755528]

Hello,

I need to give my users the ability to customize the key binding of commands.
Theses commands are created using standard fragment. They have default keybinding in binding table, but some user want to remap it.

Is there any way I can create a preference page (like the eclipse one) to allows such a modification of keyboard shortcuts ?

If so, what service can I use to programmatically change the bindingtable ?

Thanks

Alex,
I am facing similar challenges for the project I am working on. This project has been migrated to pure e4 during the last year, but still lacks some functionality.
Similar to you, I would like to be able to give users ability to customize the key bindings of commands. I guess to mimic the way the "old" e3 preference page named "Keys" worked would be the optimal solution.
Have you yet found a solution? If there is one out there, it would be great to not have to re-invent the wheel again ;)
Kind regards
Erik
