Adding a Ctrl-i keystroke [message #222339]

I want to have CTRL-i invoke a specific action in my editor. I
can't seem to get the correct syntax. Any ideas?

This works fine for mapping to the F2 key:

KeyHandler sharedKeyHandler = new KeyHandler();

sharedKeyHandler.put(KeyStroke.getPressed(SWT.F2, 0),
getActionRegistry().getAction( GEFActionConstants.DIRECT_EDIT));

but if I want to map to CTRL-i , this doesn't work :

sharedKeyHandler.put(KeyStroke.getPressed('i', SWT.CTRL),
getActionRegistry().getAction( GEFActionConstants.DIRECT_EDIT));

Any ideas? Thanks!

CTRL+I might generate a special keycode that is not a character.
You should consider using JFace keybindings and actions whenever
appropriate. Espeically to allow customization, and to avoid/identify
conflicts with other keybindings.
