>From what I can see, it should be sufficient to create a descendent of
TIDECommand with the ec* editor command constant as a property, and register this descendant 
as an IDE command with the main menu callback as the command callback, and 
the source editor, after looking up the command using the key combination, 
must simply call .execute instead of calling the main menu function...

Unless of course there are some hidden pitfalls :)
