"Unassign" PRs because of changes in staffing There are two bugs here 1) Emacs key binding should define C-p for Up and C-n for Down 2) From an Emacs manual: C-s isearch-forward Start or repeat incremental search forward C-t isearch-backward Start or repeat incremental search backward That should be C-r for isearch-backwards, not C-t. There are different known Emacs key bindings out there. If I could vote against this, I would. As an Emacs user, I find the current Eclipse behaviour of "arrow keys move between search results" a nuisance. The reason is in Emacs the arrow keys are used to terminate the search, so when I try to terminate the search by typing an arrow key (as I'm used to) I start moving around between the search results. Very annoying. Please don't break the Emacs keybindings as well. I also find arrow key behavior with incremental searching a nuisance. It definitely doesn't behave like an emacs user expects. 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. |
