Description Jann Schneider CLA 2015-03-09 04:41:06 EDT
I would like to make a proposal for an accessibility improovement. I'm using accessible technology (orca on gnome) and thus have to navigate eclipse completely by using the keyboard. 
Well, when developing plugins you are often in multi tabs editors like e.g. if editing the plugin.xml and such files. There might be one for overview, dependencies ... etc. When i tab through to adjust some settings it would be sooo helpful to have a shortcut to get back to the tab list to pick something else instead of back-tabbing all the way up again. 
Is it possible to add a shortcut for this? Or maybe one to directly switch the tabs (ctrl + pgup or Ctrl + Cursor or similar currently don't work)

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.
