ID: RATLC00012194 Priority: 2 Headline: Unable to change the label of the Delete menu Description: The label of Delete menu needs to be changed. In Eclipse, this requires the global Delete action to be a LabelRetargetAction (instead of RetargetAction in R0.9). NOTES: [CL (8/27/01 9:32:52 AM)] In Rose, there are two types of Delete commands that can be performed on a diagram -- Delete from Model and Delete from Diagram. We want to be able to rename Delete to be one of them, and add the other one ourselves. GDA(8/27/01 9:32:49 AM)> Why not just use delete for delete in diagram since this is likely what a user would expect when they are working in the diagram. This is unlikely to be visited before 1.0 so the alternative probably makes sense.
PRODUCT VERSION: 0.9 @RATL-0.9
Defer for 2.0
Reopen for investigation
1) The ability to change the Delete-action's label is needed not solely for Rose, but in almost any editor (other than a text-editor) that any plugin might contain. 2) It would also be good to be able to change or remove the key-binding programmatically (sometimes "Delete" is in use in the editor to mean one thing, and the "global" Delete-action in the editor-menu is intended to mean another).

It seems to me that the use-case here would be better solved by not reusing the generic Delete action and by creating 2 specific Delete actions. The Platform should have all the necessary things to prevent an unrelevant "Delete" command to be shown.
