[news.eclipse.tools.gef] Re: Undo with keyboard

[Arnaud <arnaud@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I tried some changes :
I don t bind CTRL + Z and DEL key with the KeyHandler
and I create an ActionBarContributor :

protected void buildActions() {

        IWorkbenchAction 		 
undo=ActionFactory.UNDO.create(getPage().getWorkbenchWindow());
        addRetargetAction((RetargetAction) undo);

        IWorkbenchAction 
redo=ActionFactory.REDO.create(getPage().getWorkbenchWindow());
        addRetargetAction((RetargetAction) redo);
    	
        IWorkbenchAction 
delete=ActionFactory.DELETE.create(getPage().getWorkbenchWindow());
        addRetargetAction((RetargetAction) delete);
    }


The actionDefinitionId is correctly set, (the key binding is correctly 
shown in my Edit Menu) but the accelerator CTRL + Z or Del doesnt work...
