Create an Eclipse Plugin with Custom Key Bindings

Question

I tried to create an Eclipse plugin with commands with custom key bindings. I tried with this plugin.xml:

<plugin>
   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.commands">
      <command
            description="Do something"
            id="com.myplugin.myCommand"
            name="My command">
      </command>
   </extension>
   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.bindings">
      <key
            commandId="com.myplugin.myCommand"
            contextId="org.python.pydev.ui.editor.scope"
            schemeId="org.eclipse.ui.defaultAcceleratorConfiguration"
            sequence="Ctrl+Return">
      </key>
   </extension>
</plugin>

The default binding Ctrl+Returnworks fine, but it does not appear in the settings. What is missing to make it appear in the settings so that the user can configure the key binding?

Try adding categoryIdto your team definition.

   <extension
     point="org.eclipse.ui.commands">
  <category
        id="com.myplugin.myCategory"
        name="My Category" 
        description="My Category">
  </category>
  <command
        description="Do something"
        id="com.myplugin.myCommand"
        categoryId="com.myplugin.myCategory"
        name="My command">
  </command>
