Question

I have A one RCP application which is run on the windows platform.in this application so many command in tool bar, So i want to assign one short cut key
to open one by one tool bar how to do this?
I have used key biding concept but, tool bar item = shortcut key happen , so i want only one key then how to do it possible?

Answer 1

You can't do this. A key binding is always bound to a single command.
If you want to do things in a sequence use a Wizard with multiple pages or something like that.
Using a cheat sheet to guide the user through the actions might be another way.

Answer 2

I have do it but different way. Whole toolbar item is passed via handler. I can share you code:
