Description Douglas Pollock

BookmarkNavigator, MarkerView, RefactorActionGroup and TaskList all bind to
SWT.DEL directly, rather than binding to the "org.eclipse.ui.edit.delete"
command.  This means that if a user changes the key binding for the delete
command, these widgets will not reflect the change.

Bug 42543 provides an example of a fix for RefactorActionGroup.

This was done to avoid Del getting stolen from text editors and cell editors.  
Using the accelerator mechanism, Del got blocked in some cases and could not 
be forwarded.

Not sure if this is still an issue.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
