| <h3>Key bindings</h3> |
| |
| |
| <p>The association between a command and the key combinations that should |
| invoke the command is called a <b>key binding</b>. Plug-ins can define key |
| bindings along with commands in the <b><a href="../reference/extension-points/org_eclipse_ui_bindings.html">org.eclipse.ui.bindings</a></b> |
| extension point.</p> |
| |
| |
| <pre>... |
| <key <b>commandId="org.eclipse.ui.file.save"</b> |
| contextId="org.eclipse.ui.contexts.window" |
| schemeId="org.eclipse.ui.examples.contributions.scheme" |
| <b>sequence="CTRL+S"</b>> |
| </key> |
| ...</pre> |
| |
| |
| <p>There is our friend <b>org.eclipse.ui.file.save</b>. In Eclipse, the workbench registers |
| the <b>SaveAction</b> as a handler for this command id in every Workbench Window.</p> |
| |
| <p>The <b>sequence</b> attribute for a key binding defines the key |
| combination that is used to invoke a command. When the |
| workbench <b>SaveAction</b> is active, the key combination <kbd>CTRL+S</kbd> will invoke it, |
| since the workbench uses the same command id for its <b>SaveAction</b>.</p> |
