Method Detail

activateKeyBindingService

public boolean activateKeyBindingService(IWorkbenchSite nestedSite)
Marks the service associated with nestedSite as active if one exists. If there is no service associated, then nothing changes. Calling this method with null forces deactivation of the current service.
Parameters:
nestedSite - The site whose service should be activated; null if the current service should be deactivated.
Returns:
true if a service is activated (or deactivated, in the case of a null parameter); false if nothing changed.

getKeyBindingService

public IKeyBindingService getKeyBindingService(IWorkbenchSite nestedSite)
An accessor for the nested key binding service associated with a particular site. If the key binding service does not exist for this nestedSite already, then a new one should be constructed.
Parameters:
nestedSite - The site for which the service should be found; should not be null.
Returns:
The associated service, if any; or a new associated service, if none existed previously.

removeKeyBindingService

public boolean removeKeyBindingService(IWorkbenchSite nestedSite)
Removes a nested key binding service from this key binding service. The service to remove is determined by the nestedSite with which it is associated.
Parameters:
nestedSite - The site from which to remove the nested service. This site must not be null.
Returns:
true if the service existed and could be removed; false otherwise.
