Hello all,
I am building data entry application and as such I need to use keyboard
shortcuts heavily. The problem is, I cannot exactly define actions and kind
keys to them, because the action to execute on key press depends on the
current editor opened. I use FormEditor, multi-page editor from Eclipse
Forms, for most data entry screens. Typically, F5-F9 are used to switch
between different pages of the current editor, and F2 used for "submit" and
F3 for "cancel".
I know that the standard way to use key shortcuts is to define actions, but
as the meaning of keyboard shortcuts is "current-editor-sensitive", I have
no idea how to go about it.
Can anyone give me any hints on how to approach this? I've tried to use
Display.getCurrent().addFilter(), but it didn't seem to catch any
keypresses.
Kind regards
Tomasz

you want contexts, probably
see bindings from Douglas Pollock
