I'm trying to register some ITextEditorActionDefinitionIds for my source viewer via ui.handler extension point but is not possible.

Only way is hardcode in *Editor.createNavigationActions or to use deprecated editorActions extension point. Mentioned actions:

1.LINE_START
2.SELECT_LINE_START
3.LINE_END
4.SELECT_LINE_END
5.WORD_PREVIOUS
6.WORD_NEXT
7.SELECT_WORD_PREVIOUS
8.SELECT_WORD_NEXT

JDT create such actions via createNavigationActions(), and to keep this actions in MergeViewer, create special CompilationUnitEditorAdapter and playing with action synchronisation.

If not via ui.command and handlers, I hope that action registration could be part of SourceViewerConfiguration.
