+1 Even though I would not yet remove Ctrl+E binding... People might be used to it. Hi Patrik, Please don't remove Ctrl+E binding. Ctrl+E binding is much easier to hit than Ctrl+F6. For me, Ctrl+F6 is difficult to press because I have to look at the keyboard to find the F6 key. People like me might already develop the habit of using Ctrl+E to switch editors.

I think is confusing using two different bindings for the same command. I agree with you that is easier pressing Ctrl+E. I'd vote for keeping Ctrl+F6, as the shortcut is there since a long time and it is connected to Ctrl+F7 (switch perspective) Adding also Dani in c/c as he might be interested as well. Maybe we can just leave Ctrl+F6 there as it is, as Ctrl+F6 style of switching editors is consistent with Ctrl+F7 (switching views) and Ctrl+F8 (switching perspective).

Ctrl+F6 and Ctrl+Shift+F6
Just had a look at eclipse help manual, it indicates Ctrl+F6 and Ctrl+Shift+F6 can be used together:
Ctrl+F6: Next Editor
Ctrl+Shift+F6: Previous Editor
Ctrl+F7: Next View
Ctrl+Shift+F7: Previous View
Ctrl+F8: Next Perspective
Ctrl+Shift+F8: Previous Perspective
Although I use Ctrl+F6 rarely, I think we can just leave it there since it is in accordance with Ctrl+F7 and Ctrl+F8.
Eclipse 3.x had a strong distinction between Editor and Views - Ctrl(+Shift)+F6: switch between all editors in the current perspective - Ctrl(+Shift)+F7: switch between all views in the current perspective - Ctrl(+Shift)+F7: switch between perspectives Eclipse 4.x allows also putting Views in the central part stack (Editor area) - Ctrl+(Shift)+E: switch between all editor/views in the current part stack, using a text to filter among the items to select. And, note there is also another binding to switch between tabs - Ctrl+PagUp(PagDown): switch next (previous) tab in any TabFolder, so it is not limited to Parts (editors/views) All the above commands are covering different areas and are not replaceable each other. Hence, I'm closing this bug as wontfix. The WONTFIX was overthrown a few weeks later, see bug 368977 and its dependency tree of regressions. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 368977 *** |
