I am using several retarget actions. I am setting the commandId/definitionId
on them, and their accelerators show properly in the context menu. But I
still need to set the
accelerator in the KeyHandler in order for the keys to actually trigger an
action. Is this supposed
to work automatically or should I get the accelerator from the action and
put the appropriate KeyStroke with the action into the KeyHandler? In the
latter case, is there a simple way to convert the accelerator into a
KeyStroke?

Let me clarify this a little. For several actions, the accelerators work
fine, and I don't have to tell the KeyHandler about them (undo, redo,
delete). But for selectAll and some others I have to put into the KeyHandler
with a KeyStroke, which means that the accelerator is hardcoded. So I am not
sure if I am missing something with the action or if I need convert the
accelerator into a KeyStroke.

SelectAll works fine in the logic example. Are you declaring it as a global
action key in the ActionBarContributor?

Thanks, with that I got selectAll to work.

Then I did the same thing for 'Open' and 'Open Type Hierarchy', but F3 and
F4 don't work. I created RetargetActions with ids JdtActionConstants.OPEN
and JdtActionConstants.OPEN_TYPE_HIERARCHY, and I set the definitionIds to
IJavaEditorActionDefinitionIds.OPEN_EDITOR and
IJavaEditorActionDefinitionIds.OPEN_TYPE_HIERARCHY on my actions. So
basically I did the same thing as with selectAll, but it doesn't work.
