Description Todd Chambery CLA 2003-01-14 08:26:41 EST 
Key bindings do not propogate to the pop-up windows.  In my case, I've remapped
some keys for movement (i.e. Next Line, Previous Column, etc.), but the pop-up
generated by a ctrl-space for code completion does not respect the new bindings.

Test case: 
Globally bind Ctrl+i to "Previous Line" and Ctrl+k to "Next Line".  Within a
Java editor, bring up the code completion pop-up.  Using Ctrl+i and Ctrl+k have
no effect.

The same behavior occurs when using the Outline browser (Ctrl+Shift+O).

Modified key bindings don't seem to work in any other kind of text area.  For
instance, I use the emacs key bindings.  They don't work in things like the CVS
commit dialog box, nor do they work in the console window (where stdout displays).

It caused me to report bug <a

doug this is a duplicate of a "key bindings in dialogs" bug already in your box..
Comment 3 Douglas Pollock CLA 2003-09-15 09:09:25 EDT 
It is unlikely that it will be possible to bind those keys within an arbitrary
widget in some dialog.  We're looking at providing limited support in dialogs
for key bindings.  I'll add your requests commands to that bug.
