Shortcut key not appearing [message #629584]

Hi All,

I am witnessing a very strange thing.
I have defined my commands,handlers and keybindings.

i have two commands for which i have defined the handlers and the keybindings.i have assigned F6 and Ctrl+F5 to them.Scheme being the default scheme and the window scope.

When i test in the UI the first action is appearing fine with F6 but the second one is not appearing thought both having the same configuration and yes the command handlers are getting executed properly on both the cases.

Any pointers would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,
Saurav

ok....i found out something interesting...i was passing a command parameter through the second command...i just removed the command parameter and the keyboard shortcut started appearing.

Am i missing something simple ? or is there some bug in the keyboard shortcut appearances when the command parameter is specified ?

A menu command+parameter won't show a key bound to just the command
(since executing that key will do a different thing than executing the
menu item).

Think of the difference between Show View (opens a dialog) and Show
View-Console (which opens the Console view). They have different
keybindings.

Thanks Paul for the reply.
Would that mean the shortcut key wont appear on the UI for the command which has a parameter ?

No. You can define the parameter in the binding, so that if you want to
execute a command with a parameter, that would work. Something like:

<key
commandId="org.eclipse.bugs.commands.myCommand"
contextId="org.eclipse.ui.contexts.window"
schemeId="org.eclipse.ui.defaultAcceleratorConfiguration"
sequence="M1+1">
<parameter
id="org.eclipse.bugs.commands.myCommandParam1"
value="someValue">
</parameter>
</key>
