Ctrl+PageUp/PageDown is the usual accelerator for cycling between tabs. Numbering the views is tricky when the set of views is dynamic (other plugins can contribute views). It also doesn't work when you have 10 or more views. You can currently use Ctrl+F7 to switch between views, similar to Ctrl+F6 for editors. Your point about efficiency with the switchers is well taken though. We would also like to add a navigation history. Where does one press Ctrl+PageUp/PageDown to switch between tabs ? In my eclipse 2.0 installation it just seem to ignore the Ctrl key and just do whatever PageUp/PageDown do in that particular view :( Regarding the "dynamic" addition of views I do not see it as a problem, if the keybindings are user configurable. Then I can just think up my own keycombination for a specific view. Secondly, handling more than 10 views should also be technical possible by e.g. use Alt-v to activate a simple entry of a number/string to do the switch. Another option would be to collect the keystrokes after Alt is pressed and see if it results in a number/string that is assigned to a view. Sorry, I was unclear. Ctrl+PageUp/PageDown do not currently work for views and editors, but they do work for tab folders elsewhere, e.g. in the preferences page for Java / Editors (need to give focus to a control on the right first). Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+PageUp/PageDown also work in other apps, e.g. Tools / Internet Options in IE. There are currently no plans to work on this feature |
