[Lazarus] IDE extension

[Fabio Luis Girardi via Lazarus]

Hi!

I'm writing an IDE extension (similar to an existing IDE tool that's used
to rename component names when you press F2, but it will change the
property tag with another keyboard shortcut).

I followed the this:

http://wiki.freepascal.org/Extending_the_IDE#Adding_a_menu_item

to register a tool menu item and a shortcut. Now I don't know how to launch
my tool only if a component is selected in the form editor. Any ideas?
