Description arne anka CLA 2009-11-19 05:35:46 EST
checking the list of avalable shortcuts is confusing. frints i got at least 12 entries for "Terminal view insert" being in alle columns exactly the same, except the actual shortcut.
"Toggle Comment" exists in 5 variants, for "structured text editor" (which after 7 years of eclipse is till don't understand what that means), java, javascript, properties and sql. i don't really see of what use that kind of diversification is -- after all we are talking about one and the same user using different editors and that user usually is used to a single set of shortcut. he or she doesn't probably not think "toggling a comment? which editor am i using? oh, yeah, sql, that means shortcut 4", but always configures the same shortcut for everything, because he/she thinks "i want to toggle a comment, hit shortcut".

i strongly urge to identify a common set of actions, assign one shortcut and force all plugins to use exact that action/shortcut instead of adding  their own action/shortcut for commonly used ones like frinst "toggle comment".

No activity in the last 10 years. Please re-open if there is still an issue.

I think it's still relevant. Today this escalated a lot:
1. DLTK
2. PDT
3. SSE
4. JDT
5. CDT

I think that common command definition should be part of LTK. For example:
1. Toggle comment
2. Add block comment
3. Remove block comment

It’s still closed ;)

Still relevant and desired.
