Description Mike Wilson CLA 2005-09-29 08:14:17 EDT 
When browsing through the matching results from a search in Eclipse, I have to 
use the mouse to either click on the desired line in the Search View or to 
click on the Next Match button.

It would be very convenient to have keyboard shortcuts to go back and forward 
through the result list. F ex in MS Visual C++ 6.0 this is bound to F4 
(shift+F4 for backwards).

(Maybe this can be applied to other list views as well, f ex Problems.)

Passing to Doug to adjudicate.
Comment 2 Douglas Pollock CLA 2005-09-29 10:22:23 EDT 
If focus is in the Search view, then Ctrl+, and Ctrl+. work.  If focus is in  
the editor, then the Next Annotation and Previous Annotation drop-downs can be  
modified to include Search Results.  
  
Rather than add a new key binding, I think using the existing facilities is  
better.
