Problem Binding action to shortcut programatically [message #334305]

Hi-ya

I have an action that I am having trouble programmatically binding to a
key binding.

As shown below, I am defining the command, and defining a key binding, and
then in the constructor of the action I am calling setActionDefinitionId
with the id of the command (BLAH). In a view I am setting the global
action handler with the action and updating the action bars.

The key binding seems be registered ok, when I press ctrl-shift-l I can
even see it. But if I click on it or press CTRL+SHIFT+3 nothing happens,
as if the action is not enabled. However I have also ensured that enabled
is always true.

This is perplexing, what could I be doing wrong? Or where could I set a
break point to see what happens when I press CTRL+SHIFT+3?

Thanks.

<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.bindings">
<key sequence="CTRL+SHIFT+3"
commandId="BLAH"
schemeId="org.eclipse.ui.defaultAcceleratorConfiguration"
contextId="org.eclipse.ui.contexts.window" />
</extension>

<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.commands">
<command
id="BLAH"
name="Hello">
</command>
</extension>

// Code in View
getViewSite().getActionBars().setGlobalActionHandler(newFall Action.getId(),
newFallAction);
getViewSite().getActionBars().updateActionBars();
