Description John Lanuti CLA 2007-06-07 11:21:39 EDT
When trying to navigate the web page editor without a mouse, it does not seem possible to toggle between pages or to use the age tabs to switch pages unless you have a mouse.  This is an accessibility issue.
Comment 1 Raghunathan Srinivasan CLA 2007-06-07 14:37:13 EDT
Consider in the 2.0.x stream
Comment 2 Raghunathan Srinivasan CLA 2008-04-25 17:03:23 EDT
Deferred due to lack of resources
Comment 3 Debajit Adhikary CLA 2008-05-23 17:57:09 EDT
Eclipse has built-in support for keyboard-navigation of pages in a multi-page editor like the Web Page Editor.

Here's how to solve the keyboard navigation problem:

(1) Go to Eclipse Preferences > General > Keys
(2) Remap the "Next Page" command to a key-binding of your choice (e.g.
Ctrl+F5)

You should now be able to switch pages in the Web Page Editor without using the mouse.
Comment 4 Debajit Adhikary CLA 2008-05-23 18:29:25 EDT
Similarly (as in comment #3 above) you can also remap the "Previous Page" command to a key-binding of your choice (e.g. Ctrl+Shift+F5)

Patch

Patch to add keyboard shortcuts to navigate through pages in the Web Page Editor.

The keyboard shortcuts are: 

Next Page: Ctrl+F5
Previous Page: Shift+Ctrl+F5

(Ctrl is actually the Meta1 key which will map appropriately to the platform,
e.g. on a Mac that would map to the Command key instead of Ctrl)

Please review the patch to add keyboard shortcuts to switch pages in the Web Page Editor.
