I like the quick access but did not find any way to contribute content. Ideally I could use an extension point to provide content that is then shown in the quick access. Any chance for this in 3.4? Or am I overseeing something here and its already possible :)?
You cannot contribute new sections to Quick Access (yet). I know how I would do it, but I would need help implementing it due to lack of resources. Basically, many of the existing sections like Views, Preferences, New Wizards already have corresponding parameterized commands. For example, typing "Navigator" will result in two matches, one for the Navigator view itself (View section), and one for the command "Show View (View: Navigator)" (Commands section). My plan (time permitting) was to remove parameterized commands from the Commands section and turning them into proper sections in Quick Access. Do you know anyone with some spare time to work on this? :)
Hi I wrote similar plugin http://sf.net/projects/eclipseprompt, which allows to define command aliases/containers to other commands and has a bit different popup/search (some ideas from very nice tool http://www.bayden.com/SlickRun/). There is some code which you might consider useful for Quick Access. Btw. if you could make api public and extension points then I'm ok to refactor Eclipse Prompt. Best Regards Piotr
(In reply to comment #2) Thanks for your offer, but the situation hasn't changed much - like many others, we are resource constrained and currently don't have the time to drive this forward. Of course, offers for help, and patches are always welcome. See also http://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform_UI/How_to_Contribute .
Remy is now responsible for watching bugs in the [QuickAccess] component area.
