Re: [eclipse-dev] Show Perspective Command

[Randy Hudson <hudsonr@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Can't these command definitions be generated
programmatically for all perspectives/views?  It seems redundant that
for every View definition and Perspective Definition I need to create a
second extension point for the command definition.  And it practice
it takes several releases for clients to actually add these definitions.
By default, existing views and perspectives should be available for keybinding
assignment, and if necessary a boolean attribute could be added to view/perspecitve
extensions to restrict this behavior.

Subject	[eclipse-dev] Show Perspective Command

As most of you are aware, there is now the "show
view" commands and key 
bindings (e.g., "Alt+Shift+Q C" for "Show Console").
 As of I200411300800, 
this support was added for perspectives as well.

Similar to the "show view" commands, it is necessary to define
a command whose 
id is the same as the perspective id.  So, for example, in 
"org.eclipse.ui.ide", we have:

      <command
        name="%Perspective.resourcePerspective"
        description="%command.openResourcePerspective.description"
        categoryId="org.eclipse.ui.category.perspectives"
        id="org.eclipse.ui.resourcePerspective"
/>

It would be nice if other plug-in developers on the Eclipse project could
add 
similar commands.



thanks,
d.
