Description Chris Williams CLA 2012-05-11 13:43:56 EDT 
Build Identifier: 

BindingService/BindingManager addBinding is internal and not a supported public API. There should be some way to programmatically define bindings for commands and have that way be a supported public API.

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Arnaud Brunet CLA 2013-04-09 18:23:12 EDT 
I don't know if i need open an other bug but the BindingService.addBinding(Binding) method doesn't call BindingManager.addBinding(Binding) method.

So BindingService.getBindings() doesn't return a Binding added by the add method.

Regards,
Arnaud

Breaking backward compatibility patch

A patch that breaks backward compatibility: added addBinding and removeBinding to IBindingService and those methods call now the bindingManager.
Comment 3 Christian Pontesegger CLA 2016-06-01 09:53:06 EDT 
Would be great to see some progress here. EASE now supports dynamic keybindings for scripts. We have to use restricted API so far for addBinding()/removeBinding()
Comment 4 Brian de Alwis CLA 2016-06-01 10:19:24 EDT 
You should be able to add, tweak, and remove bindings programmatically through the E4 layer (MBindingTable, MBindingContext, MKeyBinding).  Those changes should percolate directly into the binding mechanism.
