#10 Menu commands are not recorded
I planned to use this tool to launch some menu sequences and discovered that it is not recording them. For instance, the sequence Alt-R (run) t (history) 1 (first item in the history), launched when initially having focus in the Java editor, seems not recorded at all. I am using Indigo Service Release 1 Build id: 20110916-0149.
In general, this is a good and really missing tool.

Closing as nofix. This plugin is primarily intended to support editor macros. I am using the Eclipse commandService to capture commands that are executed. AFAIK, this should not be limited to editor commands. However, the execute history item action does not appear to be executing as a command (or at least isn't being routed through my listener). So I think it's an Eclipse bug/limitation, but this bug report is old and I don't feel like digging into Eclipse to figure out if there's any particular reason why this menu item is not being processed through the usual path.
