Created attachment 267811 [details] screenshot There is not key binding to terminate active console. Even if I have active selection on process in Debug view I need to use mouse to terminate it. Main idea is to have key shortcut to terminate active console. Eclipse IDE for Java Developers Version: Neon.3 Release (4.6.3) Build id: 20170314-1500
Actually Ctrl + F2 is available for terminate, but yes it's missing in the menu list. Will add it over there.
I see, It is available when you are debugging. When you are running, it you can terminate only from Console and no shortcut for it.
Yes, exactly :)
Moving to 4.8!! Reason behind no shortcut - context not known as compared to debugging scenario. Approach to be taken - Enable the current shortcut(as in debug mode) and present a dialog for the user to select the application to be terminated.If only one one application present default the selection to it. User will need two actions - shortcut and possibly enter if only one application running but this extra precaution is required avoiding termination of any other long running application.
No time, moving out of my radar.
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. As such, we're closing this bug. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. 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. -- The automated Eclipse Genie.
This will be a good feature to have, any one interested in providing the feature?
This is one of the reasons why I moved to another IDE. A very common step in the development lifecycle of web applications is to make changes to the code, restart the server, try the app in the browser, and repeat. Many times. These code changes are frequently small but still require a server restart. Since servers and runtimes start faster than ever, what becomes a bottleneck is having to invoke the terminate action via mouse clicks. This impacts my work even more as a developer advocate when I code at conference talks. Ideally, it should be possible to use keyboard shortcuts to run the previously launched run/debug configuration and to terminate that same run/debug action. When appropriate, prompting for the process to terminate would be useful as well. I have zero committer experience in this project, but if anybody can point me to documentation on how to implement this feature, I'd be happy to give it a try and contribute. Is there any onboarding material available to new contributors? I'm aware of the "Platform/How to Contribute" guide (https://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform/How_to_Contribute) but failed to find a guide focused on the coding part of the process like hands-on tutorials on how to implement a simple feature or fix a bug, and articles that explain the architecture of the platform (except for an outdated yet interesting one at https://www.aosabook.org/en/eclipse.html). Anything code-oriented is welcomed at this point.
https://wiki.eclipse.org/Debug/Developers Few basic things are mentioned there.
