On an open-ended system, there isn't a predictable solution to this (and as you've found, linux doesn't provide a default behaviour if no mnemonic is specified). That leaves us with just adding a mnemonic to the first character ... I'll leave this open to consider it. BTW: as a workaround you can use CTRL+N. Then you have a filtered dialog and can pick your new wizard PW CTRL+N with the filter works nice. I'll start using that method. I think the addition of the mnemonics would be worthy enhancements to the product. My wild guess is that the development and testing effort on this type of feature would be relatively low? while the gain in convenience would be at least material to some percentage of the linux Eclipse user base. Thank you for your consideration on this. Regards, JW 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. |
