Adding a keyboard shortcut to a custom toolwindow
Hi,
I've recently developed a plugin and all is going smoothly.
However, I wondered if it's possible to add a custom key-binding to the ToolWindow that my plugin provides, which pops up the ToolWindow (just like pressing Alt+1 displays the Project ToolWindow, for example)?
Ideally, this key-binding would be editable, but that's not a big priority.
It's probably something very simple, but I just can't seem to figure it out; I did a search on this forum but came up blank.
Many thanks,
- Nils

Hello Nils,
For every registered toolwindow, the action to activate it is automatically
registered. The ID of the action is "Activate" + your tool window ID + "ToolWindow".
You can register a shortcut for such an action using the Keymap.addShortcut()
method.

That's even simpler than I thought it would be!
Thanks,
