Infopop key combination on GTK is Ctrl+F1, not F1. Thanks - I had not realised that it is now CTRL F1 This works fine on my Redhat box (Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (release 3) (Linux Intel) Kernel 2.2.21-9.EL ) But NOT on my Suse box (Suse Linux Enterprise Server 9 (i586) (Linux Intel) Kernel 2.6.5-7.97) CTRL F1 appears to do nothing on this box and the infopops do not appear. I am not a Linux expert having just been given the boxes to test my code on eclipse - any further information would be appreciated KDE takes Ctrl+Fn keys When using the KDE desktop on Linux systems, the Ctrl+Fn key sequences are used for switching between virtual desktops. This means that Eclipse commands bound to these key sequences do not get activated, including Ctrl+F1 (Help), Ctrl+F4 (File > Close) and Ctrl+F6 (Next Editor). These keys can be reassigned in KDE using the Control Center. Choose Look & Feel > Shortcuts > Shortcut Sequences > Shortcut Sequences > System > Desktop Switching, and set all items to None or to a different key sequence such as Ctrl+Alt+Fn. The other alternative is to assign different key sequences in Eclipse using the Workbench > Keys preference page. (see bug 26361) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 26361 *** I have looked at KDE on SLES9. On this system, by default, KDE defines shortcut for "What's this" to be Shift+F1, and I have verified it this combination brings up Eclipse help infopop. Many Thanks for your help on this - I can now see my infopops and have a better understanding of why they didn't work. Kim. |
