Hi,

I am working with a RCP application. I have defined my scheme extending from org.eclipse.ui.defaultAcceleratorConfiguration.
I have defined key for command org.eclipse.ui.edit.delete(M2+DEL).
In my view(containing treeviewer) when user press delete then action is performed but i want it to be performed with (shift + delete) as defined in scheme.

If user tries edit menu then short cut for delete is shift + delete, then why delete key is still working as shortcut?

Do you know what is problematic here?

Cheers,

Hi,

Yes i am running my product with my defined scheme(plugin_customization.ini file is added). Actually i have some other key definitions as well and they are working fine but not delete.

<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.bindings">
<scheme
id="MyScheme"
name="MyScheme"
parentId="org.eclipse.ui.defaultAcceleratorConfiguration">
</scheme>
<key
commandId="org.eclipse.ui.file.saveAll"
schemeId="MyScheme"
sequence="M1+S">
</key>
<key
commandId="org.eclipse.ui.edit.delete"
schemeId="MyScheme"
sequence="M2+DEL">
</key>
</extension>

This is define in main plugin and my view is constructed by other plugin and main pluigin contains all other plugins as dependency.

thanks!

Do you have this code in your ActionBarAdvisor class?

@Override
protected void makeActions(final IWorkbenchWindow window) {
	// Creates the actions and registers them.
	// Registering is needed to ensure that key bindings work.
	// The corresponding commands keybindings are defined in the plugin.xml
	// file.
	// Registering also provides automatic disposal of the actions when
	// the window is closed.

	register(ActionFactory.UNDO.create(window));
	register(ActionFactory.REDO.create(window));
	register(ActionFactory.DELETE.create(window));
        ...
}

as defined in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=270007

Yes ActionBarAdvisor class contains this code.

I just want to add that key binding for org.eclipse.ui.file.saveAll command works fine but not org.eclipse.ui.edit.delete.


thanks!

protected void fillMenuBar(IMenuManager menuBar) {

MenuManager fileMenu = new MenuManager("&File", "file");
MenuManager editMenu = new MenuManager("&Edit", IWorkbenchActionConstants.M_EDIT);

menuBar.add(new GroupMarker(IWorkbenchActionConstants.MB_ADDITIONS));
menuBar.add(fileMenu);
menuBar.add(editMenu);

fileMenu.add(new Separator(IWorkbenchActionConstants.MB_ADDITIONS));
fileMenu.add(exitAction);

// Edit
editMenu.add(undoAction);
editMenu.add(redoAction);
editMenu.add(deleteAction);
editMenu.add(new Separator(IWorkbenchActionConstants.MB_ADDITIONS));

private IWorkbenchAction undoAction;
private IWorkbenchAction redoAction;
private IWorkbenchAction deleteAction;
public ApplicationActionBarAdvisor(IActionBarConfigurer configurer) {
super(configurer);
}

protected void makeActions(IWorkbenchWindow window) {
exitAction = ActionFactory.QUIT.create(window);
undoAction = ActionFactory.UNDO.create(window);
redoAction = ActionFactory.REDO.create(window);
deleteAction = ActionFactory.DELETE.create(window);
saveAllAction = ActionFactory.SAVE_ALL.create(window);
saveAsAction = ActionFactory.SAVE_AS.create(window);
register(undoAction);

And the code where you register the global action handler for that retarget action?

This is from view class.

@Override
public void init(IViewSite site) throws PartInitException {
super.init(site);
IActionBars bars = site.getActionBars();
UndoAction actionUndo = new UndoAction(site.getWorkbenchWindow(), this);
RedoAction actionRedo = new RedoAction(site.getWorkbenchWindow(), this);
deleteAction = new DeleteAction(site.getWorkbenchWindow(), this);
bars.setGlobalActionHandler(ActionFactory.DELETE.getId(), deleteAction);
bars.setGlobalActionHandler(ActionFactory.UNDO.getId(), actionUndo);
bars.setGlobalActionHandler(ActionFactory.REDO.getId(), actionRedo);
bars.updateActionBars();
}




this is action class



public class DeleteAction extends Action implements ISelectionListener {

private IWorkbenchWindow window;
private IWorkbenchPart part;
private IUndoContext context;
public DeleteAction(IWorkbenchWindow window, IWorkbenchPart part) {
this.window = window;
this.part = part;
setActionDefinitionId(ActionFactory.DELETE.getId());
window.getSelectionService().addSelectionListener(this);
setText("Delete View");
setEnabled(false);
}

@Override

public void run() {...
....
}

}


thanks!

Try to change

setActionDefinitionId(ActionFactory.DELETE.getId());

to

setActionDefinitionId(ActionFactory.DELETE.getCommandId());

Hi,

I have tried that but it does not make any difference... and when i select the object to delete and open edit menu then delete menu item's short cut is shift + delete which is correct one but still delete key works and other key definition for saveAll action works fine.. it is very strange for me. Can you predict what is wrong here?

So both DEL and SHIFT + DEL triggers the Delete action?

Hmm...I really don't know. Maybe some part of the View has added a KeyListener to a control of it.
For example GEF's EditPartViewer could do that.
