Re: [platform-ui-dev] Actionbar contributor doesn't have access to keyb

[Kai-Uwe Maetzel <maetzel@xxxxxxx>]

What kind of solution do you envision?

Each editor part may have its own key binding service. The contributor
has to register a contributed action with the key binding service of each
editor part that gets created. This could happen when an editor is set as
the active editor for the first time.  Depending on the concrete
implementation this could also imply that the contributor has to track
the destruction of the editors in order to clean up. 

This could be implemented with the current API but does not really sound
attractive.

Thanks, Kai
