Custom keyboard shortcut maps (+4)

[lukechurch]

Users have requested either specific keyboard map entries - for e.g. the Run in Browser function, or more generally the ability to setup their own keyboard maps.

This would also help common software keyboard map conflicts, such as Eclipse and QuickSilver both wanting Ctrl+Space on a Mac.

It'd be really great to see this feature. I've been waiting for it to use the editor more. Eclipse default keybindings work for me on Win/Linux but they don't work great out of the box on Mac.

I'm going to try hacking my preferences file and see if I can get that working, but I hope we can get a fix soon.

I tried copying preferences file, but no dice =

This keymapping business makes the editor very uncomfortable to use.

Eclipse does not respect Mac global bindings, so in addition to my peculiar bindings for editor navigation (eg ctrl+i = up), all the "standard" bindings like save (ctrl+s) are crooked.

I'm honestly surprised this isn't more of any issue for the folks working on the editor itself (or are they writing all their Dart in JEdit?).

Steve: I think you were looking into this? In any event, I'm not actively... (though happy to pitch in!)

Some early support in recent builds:

Added this to the M1 milestone.

Key bindings can be modified by writing out a file of current bindings, editing it to suit, and loading it back in. It is a bit inconvenient to use. We'll make it better later.

While there is some support for custom bindings, the core navigation commands (line up/down, next/prev char, etc.) are still not complete.

Also, I'm unable to set key bindings for menu items that do not have a key binding by default, e.g. "Find Uses" and "Find Overriding Methods". Respective added entries to the key bindings XML file are just ignored.
