  <p>How do I define a custom key binding in eclipse?</p>
  
  <p>I have to admit, for a FREE PRODUCT, Eclipse really delivers.  However, sometimes I have to scratch my head about certain missing features...</p>
  
  <p>Eclipse has over ELEVEN HUNDRED different key bindings.</p>

  <p>I would like to use one of those KeyBindings to add a "Watch" Expression to the expressions window, while debugging.</p>

  <p>Here is an additional screenshot showing that I already understand the "filter" process.  I have set key-bindings for everything I could find pertaining to "Watch", but as you can see it doesn't show up in my right-click menu, and does not function when I use the defined keyboard shortcut.</p>

  <p>Despite the prevailing opinion that this is "blatant whining", It is also a legitimate problem for me.</p>
  
  <p>Please help.</p>
