20020521 The natural user action when presented with the cute little "light bulb" icon in the breakpoint bar is to try to right-click on the light bulb. It would be really nice if "Quick Fix" was on the popup menu there. (i.e. the same popup menu that has Add/Enable Breakpoints and Add Bookmark/Task) This would probably be less of a "cognitive leap" for new users, and old users might find it handy too. :)
+1 from here i entered that before
since F2 you can click on the light bulb directly. We will not add the action to the context menu for 2.0
Consider for 2.1
You can just click on the icon. However, it should also appear in the menu.
Easy to implement by putting sth. like the following into CompilationUnitEditor: protected void rulerContextMenuAboutToShow(IMenuManager menu) { super.rulerContextMenuAboutToShow(menu); IAction action= getAction("CorrectionAssistProposal"); if (action != null && action.isEnabled()) addAction(menu, ITextEditorActionConstants.MB_ADDITIONS, "CorrectionAssistProposal"); } We'll need the following from the quick fix action (JDT UI): 1) Real enablement code (should be possible, the menu entry should only be present when a light bulb is showing) (We're not talking about the blue (quick assist) lightbulb here). 2) A way to set the offset for which quick fix proposals are to be shown. At the moment, JavaCorrectionAssistant takes the position from the viewer selection, but when invoking from the ruler context menu, we'll want the relevant proposals for the line where the marker is at / the context menu is opened for. Martin, what do you think.
