Description John Arthorne CLA 2002-11-14 11:43:46 EST
Build 20021114

The keyboard shortcuts Ctrl(& Ctrl+Shift) F6, F7, and F8 do not work at all for
switching views, editors, and perspectives.
Comment 1 Nick Edgar CLA 2002-11-14 22:35:40 EST
Which window manager were you using, KDE or Gnome?
KDE takes the Ctrl+Fn keys for switching virtual desktops.
Comment 2 John Arthorne CLA 2002-11-15 09:48:48 EST
I'm using KDE. Ctrl F1-F4 switch virtual desktops, but Ctrl F5-F12 seem to have
no effect.  This is quite possibly not a new bug, I was testing on Linux for the
first time.
Comment 3 Nick Edgar CLA 2002-11-15 10:06:12 EST
Known collision with KDE.
We'll be looking the more general problem of dealing with platform-specific 
keybindings.

Comment 5 Nick Edgar CLA 2002-11-15 10:09:08 EST
Renaming and lowering priority.
Andrew says the Ctrl+Shift+Fn combinations actually work on KDE.
Comment 6 Andrew Irvine CLA 2003-02-26 15:42:03 EST
See bug #31329.  In short KDE has hi-jacked all ctrl-fn keys for switching 
between virtual desktops.  You can turn this hi-jacking off.  If KDE takes the 
key sequences, then eclipse doesn't see them.

I believe this is a duplicate of bug #31329, but that is a specific bug, so I 
have not marked it so.

Comment 8 Douglas Pollock CLA 2003-09-03 14:25:08 EDT
This can most likely be rolled in with the localization of key bindings based on
platform.  GTK has some key sequences which are reserved as well.  They've
caused problems.

Moving on to the M2 milestone, just to make it easier to track when these bugs 
were dealt with.
