RCP Key Bindings [message #437891]

I have a RCP application which includes a text editor which extends Eclipse's text editor. I am
defining my key bindings by defining a "org.eclipse.ui.bindings" and a corresponding
"org.eclipse.ui.commands" extension. With regards to key bindings, I have two questions:
* One of the key bindings I have is ctrl+L. This however clashes with "Go to Line" binding of the
text editor. How do I override the "Go to Line" action with my action?
* If I go to General | Keys preference dialog, I see numerous bindings which have nothing to do with
my RCP. For example: ctrl+B -> "Build All". Building something has no meaning in my RCP. How can I
have it not appear in the preference dialog.

Regards,
Lokesh

Figuredout this one. I needed to define my own context and make "org.eclipse.ui.textEditorScope" as
its parent.

That leaves the 2nd problem. Anyone know how to hide the keys bindings that are not needed?

AFAIK you cannot remove commands (file bugs if a command is there that
you deem wrong in an RCP app). You can however remove a keybinding for a
command in your context by creating a binding with the same key sequence
and an empty command attribute (see the bindings extension point and
search for "deletion").
