There is a keybinding called 'Synchronize all with CVS' which has no key assignment by default. It appears that when this binding is assigned to a key, it only works when you are in a CVS perspective. This would be a lot more useful if I could use it in the Java perspective, where I would use it so I don't have to mouse over to the package view and use the right click team menu to do a synchronize. It is ob no use at all to me in the CVS perspective...
It not having a key by default is by design. I thought it was to work everywhere though (but maybe that's me just being hopeful :> ).
Does not seem to, unless there is something weird about my system (running M5). The binding only works in the CVS perspective...
The problem is that the CVS action set is only active by default in the CVS perspective. It must be explicitly enabled in other perspectives for the actions to be used. This can be done in the Window/Customize Perspective menu option (The CVS actions are in the "Other" category. We should consider moving this bug to UI since it is not obvious that the action set is disabled when the keybinding is set.
Thank you for the info. At a minimum it needs to be in the help, but I think people will probably still be tripped up by it. It almost needs to be mentioned in the key binding dialog if there is enough room...
I agree that this should be moved to UI. It took me a long while to figure that action set enablement was coupled with keybinding.
Moving to UI. To summarize, the issue is that keybindings can be applied to action sets that are not active or only active in certain perspectives. It is not obvious in the dialog that the action set needs to be activated.
Agree this is confusing. Chris, any suggestions?
i'll have a look a this and get back to you.
This behaviour is admittedly confusing. There should be some cue in the key bindings dialog that the setting will not take effect until the action set is made visible.
Chris: I believe you still wanted to hold on to the keys preference page redesign work. This would be part of that.
Taking all of Chris' [KeyBindings] bugs.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
