Question

How to do keybinding in eclipse RCP?

I mean how to use key sequences in your GUI…like Ctrl + something or Alt + something…..?

Answer 1

You can look at the Eclipse Command tutorial

To define and use your own scheme you need:

• Define a scheme in extension point “org.eclipse.ui.bindings”
• Assign this scheme to the keybindings you defined
• Have a product created
• Define the file “plugin_customization.ini” and set the scheme for the product via a property.

the all keybinding mechanism is based on the Eclipse Command Framework
