Prompted by comments on Eclipse the following behavior is suggested for the Display window: 1) We should go to the next line after displaying a result 2) If the user chooses to Display (via the button or otherwise) and they have no text selected, we should highlight the entire line that the cursor is on and display that. NOTES: JMB (8/30/2001 11:38:52 AM) I think we should also switch the shortcut keys around. In the menu, the 'd' in display and the 'i' in inspect should be the underlined shortcut letters. Also, ctrl+d should display and ctrl+i should inspect. This would not only be a usability improvement, it would also make the display view evaluation consistent with the snippet editor (which already supports ctrl+d and ctrl+i). DS (9/5/01 11:49:11 AM) Shortcut keys and menu accelerators are getting confused here. In a popup menu, the shortcuts are not shown (ctrl+d) but the accelerators are (underlined i). The snippet editor does have duplicate accelerators (n and i). Logged 1GJLAL7: ITPDUI:ALL - Duplicate accelerators in snippet editor context menu As well, inspect is ctrl+q in the snippet editor (ctrl+i is for indent). DS (9/5/01 4:31:23 PM) Having trouble getting the shortcuts (CTRL+D and CTRL+Q) to work...as well as finding shortcuts for display and run that do not clash with other shortcuts. DS (9/7/01 1:51:11 PM) Shortcuts on hold. DS (9/12/01 9:07:28 AM) Added the "select line cursor is on support" to the snippet editor. Looking at ways to add the feature to the display view. DS (9/20/2001 3:01:14 PM) New work for 2.0: support code assist more friendly formatting persisting content DS (9/25/01 2:11:39 PM) Ensure to reuse code between the snippet editor, java editor and display view evaluation support. DS (9/28/2001 2:05:00 PM) First attempt complete. DS (10/2/2001 2:16:53 PM) DisplayView content assist does not present the extra context information after a successful code assist. For example: code assist of "eq" should show up equals(Object) select this choice In the JavaEditor you will get a hover help saying object. We do not get this in the DisplayView. DS (10/2/2001 3:32:32 PM) Fixed. Talk to DW about auto-selecting the line.
Still some outstanding problems...but logged as separate 4137. It has been decided not to do the autoselecting...but have logged a pr that would create actions (ctrl-w was suggested) to select a line. Please verify.

All features verified except code assist, which does not work on Linux. Suspect the problem is related to catching the ctrl-space keystroke.
Bug 6852 has been marked as fixed.
After the next integration build (>20020109), please verify.
Verified.
