I am trying to modify a couple of the default menu accelerators in XXE and am running into problems. From reading the mailing list archives, it appears this is one area of XXE that has evolved quite a bit over the past few major releases.
Specifically, I want to modify the accelerators for Window > Show Preceding and Window > Show Following (Ctrl-Shift-P, Ctrl-Shift-F in default.xxe_gui), so that they are triggered by Ctrl+Shift+Tab and Ctrl+Tab, respectively. Here is the code I have used in my custom.xxe_gui file: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <gui xmlns="http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/schema/gui"; xmlns:gui="http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/schema/gui";> <include location="xxe-gui:app/default.xxe_gui" /> <action name="precedingWindowAction" label="Show _Preceding" accelerator="mod shift TAB"> <class>com.xmlmind.xmleditapp.app.part.PrecedingWindowAction</class> </action> <action name="followingWindowAction" label="Show _Following" accelerator="mod TAB"> <class>com.xmlmind.xmleditapp.app.part.FollowingWindowAction</class> </action> <layout> <insert/> </layout> </gui> Unfortunately, this does not have the desired effect. Here's what I'm seeing: * Although the Window > Show Preceding menu item does display the correct accelerator (Ctrl+Shift+Tab), typing Ctrl+Shift+Tab does not trigger this action. * Apparently because a default binding exists for Ctrl+Tab to the insertControlCharacter command, Window > Show Following loses its accelerator -- no accelerator key is displayed in the menu item. Here are my questions: * Why does the Ctrl+Shift+Tab not work as an accelerator key for Window > Show Preceding? * Is it possible to override a default binding with a menu accelerator?
