Which window manager were you using, KDE or Gnome? KDE takes the Ctrl+Fn keys for switching virtual desktops. I'm using KDE. Ctrl F1-F4 switch virtual desktops, but Ctrl F5-F12 seem to have no effect. This is quite possibly not a new bug, I was testing on Linux for the first time. Known collision with KDE. We'll be looking the more general problem of dealing with platform-specific keybindings. Reopening Renaming and lowering priority. Andrew says the Ctrl+Shift+Fn combinations actually work on KDE. See bug #31329. In short KDE has hi-jacked all ctrl-fn keys for switching between virtual desktops. You can turn this hi-jacking off. If KDE takes the key sequences, then eclipse doesn't see them. I believe this is a duplicate of bug #31329, but that is a specific bug, so I have not marked it so. *** Bug 14775 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This can most likely be rolled in with the localization of key bindings based on platform. GTK has some key sequences which are reserved as well. They've caused problems. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 42009 *** *** Bug 73862 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Moving on to the M2 milestone, just to make it easier to track when these bugs were dealt with. |
