Description Jesper Nordenberg CLA 2001-11-08 15:30:37 EST 
It should be possible to map any key combination in the editor to an action.
Comment 1 Erich Gamma CLA 2001-11-09 05:30:18 EST 
This requires platform UI support since we can't know which actions are already 
assigned as menu short cuts. We minimally need a way to find out which keys are 
already bound. This is non-trivial given that a user can install new plugins 
that contribute actions binding additional keys. The problem of keyboard 
binding already exists today and requires a workbench solution.

Moving to Platform UI for comment

This is also an issue for accesability as well. One of the nice to have
features is to be able to list the known accelerators.

Note Priority and Severity (P3/enhancement). This is a nice to have feature 
that should be considered after addressing higher priority items.

Do we know if this feature is going to make it in 2.1 release ? It would be
mighty nice if it did.
Comment 11 Michael R. Head CLA 2002-11-18 12:20:34 EST 
M3 seems to basically have this. 

There seem to be some bugs though. From time to time, Ctrl-N gets usurped by the
IDE and stops being "next line" in my editor (though Ctrl-P and friends continue
to work).
Comment 12 Chris McLaren CLA 2002-11-22 12:24:34 EST 
fixed. customizable key binding support is in M3.
(Preferences -> Workbench -> Key Bindings)
