Description Jerry Quinn CLA 2002-11-27 14:53:18 EST
In I20021119, C-_ (or Ctrl+Shift+-) isn't undoing editing changes.  It shows up
in the edit->undo menu as an accelerator correctly, though.

This is very aggravating to work with.
Comment 2 Dani Megert CLA 2003-07-17 03:21:37 EDT
Ctrl+Shift+- works for me.

If it is not working for you try resetting your key bindings (see workbench keys
pref page).
Comment 3 Jerry Quinn CLA 2003-07-18 11:09:13 EDT
Still broken in eclipse 2.1.1 for me.  I tried what you said -- restore defaults
then set the emacs keybindings.
Comment 4 Dani Megert CLA 2003-07-21 03:13:43 EDT
- What exactly do you mean by C-_? Did you try Ctrl+Shift+- ?

- Do you use plain Eclipse or did you add other plug-in which might steal the
shortcut? If you added another plug-in try to see if there's a clash and also
try to run using plain Eclipse SDK.

We can't do anything here without answers to the questions.
Comment 6 Jerry Quinn CLA 2003-08-29 10:46:22 EDT
Sorry about that.  Fell down down my inbox.

I'm just running stock eclipse, no add-ins.
Comment 7 Dani Megert CLA 2003-09-08 09:10:40 EDT
Still unanswered:
- What exactly do you mean by C-_? Did you try Ctrl+Shift+- ?

Comment 8 Jerry Quinn CLA 2003-09-08 10:12:12 EDT
Yes, C+Shift+-.  It shows up in the keybinding list as I expect, but doesn't work.
C+x u does work to undo, but isn't intuitive to my emacs-trained fingers :-)
Comment 9 Dani Megert CLA 2003-09-08 10:30:46 EDT
Key binding stuff has significantly changed with 3.0 M3.

With the new implementation it no longer works on my German keyboard since the
shortcut is defined as:

Ctrl + Shift + - (Shift + - is _ on my German keyboard).

If I manually register "Ctrl+_" then it works.
Comment 10 Jerry Quinn CLA 2004-03-01 10:32:18 EST
I just checked in WSSD 5.1 and adding Ctrl+_ as a keybinding for undo works the
way I expect.  It sounds like something is broken in the way Ctrl+Shift+- works.

As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
