RE: WSAD keyboard customisation: when will WSAD catchu p with Eclipse 2.1?

I found a few teasers that might answer your q's....  These were all from a
thread named "jLpex keys for re-definition"

<snip>
Unfortunately, Eclipse's key-binding mechanism changes drastically with 
each release (and there seems to be no end to this in sight, at least 
not yet).  In WDSC 5.1 (which is based on Eclipse R2.1.1), LPEX will at 
least get all the keys it actually defines in its base profiles ("lpex", 
"seu", etc.), including those that may be used by top-level menu 
mnemonics or other Eclipse global actions.  However, it may still not 
get other key combinations outside this defined scope (such as Alt+O), 
if used elsewhere (for example, mnemonics)...

Not right now.  However, you can try a 'quick and dirty' Java "macro", 
if you're not inclined to go through developing a plug-in for LPEX 
extensions, etc.  Disclaimer:  Quick here is relative, just as you may 
so consider the dirty part!

1.- Edit a file ThreeRight.java:
======================================================================
import com.ibm.lpex.core.LpexAction;
import com.ibm.lpex.core.LpexView;

public class ThreeRight implements LpexAction {
  public void doAction(LpexView lpexView) {
   int shift = lpexView.actionId("blockShiftRight");
   lpexView.doAction(shift);
   lpexView.doAction(shift);
   lpexView.doAction(shift);
  }
  public boolean available(LpexView lpexView) {
   return lpexView.actionAvailable(lpexView.actionId("blockShiftRight"));
  }
}
======================================================================

2.- Compile with:
   javac ThreeRight.java

Your classpath must include:
   <wdsc install root>\eclipse\plugins\com.ibm.lpex_1.3.8\lpex.jar

3.- Copy the resulting class to the LPEX plug-in directory:
   copy ThreeRight.class
        <wdsc_install_root>\eclipse\plugins\com.ibm.lpex_1.3.8\*.*

4.- In the LPEX "User Actions" preferences, define the new class:
   Name:       threeRight
   Class name: ThreeRight

Now you can call this action from LPEX's command line:
   action threeRight

or bind it to a key from the "User Key Actions" preferences:
   Key:    a-backSpace
   Action: threeRight

Thanks, Eric.  I was thinking about trying again, as I _still_ never saw
any of my posts come back.  Strange.

Cheers,

Martin.
