I believe that Ctrl+1 is primarily intended for fixing problems ("quick fix"). Quick *assists* are already bending the rules, but putting "all actions that modify the code" into one pop-up sounds like a bad idea. Showing tens of pages of possible options might help to show-off the great number of things we can do, but it will not speed up development, quite to the contrary.
As you say "menu", there is already a (real) menu holding the option you are looking for. What's wrong with Alt+S?
I personally very much like Alt+Shift+T. Perhaps it's possible to create a similar context menu for all generate actions that are applicable at the caret?
Or: what about adopting the concept behind repeated Ctrl+space? I.e.: repeated Ctrl+1 could cycle through a list of contributed categories of modifications:
- fix
- assist
- generate
- refactor
- cleanup
- ...
This way we could indeed offer a single starting point ("if you don't know, what to do, press Ctrl+1"), without overwhelming the user with a huge, unstructured list.
I think a quickfix or quick assists here would be fine, as the menu is still almost empty. |
Created attachment 281409 [details] Screencast Would be nice to have quickfixes for Generate Constructor on the class. Currently the menu is almost emptry. IntelliJ allows to trigger all its generate stuff via one shortcut.
