I want to invoke the accelerator menu (Ctrl+F7) programmatically in Eclipse. But I could not find a way to fire such keyEvent in code, Is there a mechanism in Eclipse can support this now? To simulate a key event? and will SWT support it in future? I think this kind of mechanism could make it possible to support the automation UI test of Eclipse.

Can I use notifyListeners(eventType, event) to do that? Need your help.
