Question

I want to modify the existing tool tip text.I have following lines in plugin.xml

<command commandId="org.eclipse.ui.edit.paste" 
 id="org.eclipse.ui.edit.paste" tooltip="%pasteAction.TIP">

in plugin.properties

pasteAction.TIP=Paste

Existing tool tip appears like following

Paste(Ctrl+V)

I want to modify this existing tool tip to appears like following

Paste(Ctrl+V)
Paste a reference to the object

I am getting three problems to achieve this use case.

  • (Ctrl+V) added automatically at the end of tool tip text. which is not desired. It should appear where it is expected.

  • don't know how to Bold the particular string e.g. (Ctrl+V)

  • don't know how to make tool tip text multiline

we can use \n for multiline. it works but still looking for other two questions.

Thanks

Solution

For controls that you create you can use the org.eclipse.jface.window.ToolTip class to define custom tool tips.

For controls that Eclipse creates I don't know of any way to change the position of the key binding text or the font (bold).
