Hi,

i have a few questions about optimizing the ui a little.
first, is there a chance to link into a specific PreferencesPage with,
lets say an action. i want to use a Button, or popup entry or something
else to jump into the preferencesPage for this context(hard coded, folder
popup button links to folder prefs).
2. When starting the Preferences the default way the first entry is
selected, right? any chance to modify that ? i can used as workaround for
the first question:-)
3. how can i sort the preferences Pages. My pages are sorted by name.thats
makes not realy sense for my pages, and i cant find usefull pseudonym:-)

ty for your help,

Guido

Yes, but only very recently and it is still marked as internal. Look at
KeyAssistDialog.editKeyBinding() to see how things are working right now.
There's still a debate as to what the public API will look like, but it
should be here shortly (likely for M4). Please follow Bug 63656
("https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=63656").
