Custom Key Bindings in SWT

Question

Hey all,
Is it at all possible to add custom key bindings to buttons in SWT? I can't use & in the text of the button to set a mnenomic because my buttons have no text (only an image). Is there a good way to do this using key listeners or is there something like the input/action map in swing?

Thanks in advance.

We are using Actions, but those have to be added to the menu or the toolbar to function. But since this is a usuability standard anyway, be have no problem with doing it so.

Inherit from org.eclipse.jface.action.Action, and use a MenuManager to create your Menus. Immediaty satisfaction guaranteed.
