    • run

      public void run()
      Description copied from class: Action

    • setAccelerator

      public void setAccelerator(int keycode)
      Description copied from interface: IAction

      Sets the accelerator keycode that this action maps to. This is a bitwise OR of zero or more SWT key modifier masks (i.e. SWT.CTRL or SWT.ALT) and a character code. For example, for Ctrl+Z, use SWT.CTRL | 'Z'. Use 0 for no accelerator.

      This method should no longer be used for actions in the Eclipse workbench. IWorkbenchCommandSupport and IWorkbenchContextSupport provide all the functionality required for key bindings. If you set an accelerator using this method, then it will not work in the workbench if it conflicts any existing key binding, or if there is a different key binding defined for this action's definition id. The definition id should be used instead -- referring to the command in the workbench from which the key binding should be retrieved.

      Specified by:
      setAccelerator in interface IAction
      Overrides:
      setAccelerator in class Action
      Parameters:
      keycode - the keycode to be accepted.

If neither, then there is no accelerator text. Note that if you want to insert an '@' character into the text (but no accelerator), then you can simply insert an '@' or a '\t' at the end of the text.
      An accelerator specification consists of zero or more modifier tokens followed by a key code token. The tokens are separated by a '+' character.

      Fires a property change event for the TEXT property if the text actually changes as a consequence.
