Description Nick Edgar CLA 2001-11-08 16:31:41 EST 
To meet accessibility requirements, the Launch and Run actions need to be 
available on the menubar, not just the toolbar.

Could we put a high priority on this?  I'd like the UI team to have an "unplug 
your mouse" day on Nov. 19, and it would be good to have this support.
Thanks.

Add Run/Debug to the debug menu.

Added the actions to the Debug menu.
Please verify.

Build 20011204.

The Run and Debug actions on the Debug menu do not allow you to choose which 
launcher to use, in the same way you can using the toolbar buttons.

Nick, I am not sure what you mean.  These are the same actions.

The way to get to pick a launcher is not to have any active editor or 
other "launchable selection" (same as the toolbar actions);

Things will change with the new launch configurations but the actions will have 
exactly the same behavior.

With a project selected, I can currently choose the Debug toolbar button's 
pulldown menu, which has a Debug submenu from which I can choose the launcher 
to use.  Likewise for the Run button.
I can't do this from the pulldown menu.

It's true that if I close all editors and clear any selection, I get prompted 
for project and launcher, but this is a fairly hidden feature, and I shouldn't 
have to close my editors just to choose a different launcher.

Updated to be able to specify launcher to the debug menu (Debug With, Run With).
Added numerical accelerators to the launchers.

Code in the LaunchWithAction#selectionChanged(IAction, ISelection) can be 
revisited when #setMenuCreator is added to IAction.

Added the Debug History and Run History dynamic menus to the Debug Menu.
Added numerical accelerators to the history items.

The debug menu just keeps getting bigger... ;-)
