I'm willing to help, but I'm not sure how to solve this. An extension point would probably be too much for this single feature? You probably don't want to litter the platform with extension points for small things like this? But I'm not aware of any other nice ways extensions/replacing functionality could be made. What about an extension point that allows several IDE behaviors to be replaced? For example an extension point called "IDE Adapter" that would come with one interface / abstract class that has API to do this. Could you not just do this with a command? If we moved the action you are concerned about to a command you could just bind it to a different handler. I don't think we want to add new mechanisms if we could avoid it. This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. |
