KeyBindings in Eclipse
Keybindings have changed in Eclipse 3.1, so currently the way we are doing keyboard shortcuts is a bit depricated.
I am currently looking at sorting out the keybindings so they work across Mac and PC's so that they are a bit more consistent. Spike metioned in a post that:
Getting keybindings to work correctly in plugin.xml is a bit of a black art, but you're more than welcome to try.If you do have a go at it, the Eclipse 3.x way of defining keys has changed.
Instead of using Ctrl you should use M1.
There are 4 modifier keys M1, M2, M3 and M4.
M1 corresponds to Ctrl on windows and I think cmd on Mac.
I have been doing a bit of digging and for anyone that wants to help there is a good document from Douglas Pollock who works at IBM on Eclipse that describes the changes he has made to the keyBinding architecture.
More to come on this topic once I get some results.
