Description James Willans CLA 2005-02-08 03:57:55 EST 
Currently key bindings can only be specified declaratively in the plugin.xml. 
We would like an approach that enables this to be done programmatically and
dynamically.  Our RCP application does not know about keybindings (and many
other GUI aspects such as menus) until after the application has started.  At
which point it connects to a remote server, the keybindings are determined by
messages received from the server.

Just to add to my previous comment.  Ideally we would like to specify the key
binding using IAction.setAccelerator(..) and bypass the whole command framework
since it is too heavyweight for our needs.  If there was a scenario where this
was possible, then we wouldn't require the programmatic specification of key
binding for commands.
