Description Kay Krüger-Barvels CLA 2004-10-07 09:45:29 EDT
My problem is, that in some circumstances I like to have "Link With Editor" 
turned on for certain views but at other times I don't. If the suggested 
command/shortcut existed, I'd turn off "Link With editor" completely and 
synchronize the views manually on demand.

Example for when "Link With Editor" is useful: I open a class using
Ctrl-Shift-T (in the Java Browsing perspective) and want to have a visual
clue of where in my package structure I am (project, package and types views).

Example for when "Link With Editor" is annoying: I'm using the Java
Browsing Perspective to look into the classes of some package one after another 
(e.g. all classes that have compile errors or to check if the
package is coherent). After looking at one class I close the editor and want
to open the next class of the same package. But after closing the editor
window, another editor window gets the focus and my linked "Types" 
and "Package" views jump to different packages and types.

This would require a retargable action in Platform/UI. However up to now we 
don't have view actions in the global menu bar.

This currently no plan to work on this feature
Comment 3 Denis Roy CLA 2009-08-30 02:09:18 EDT
As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.

Use the Show In command and assign a keybinding to it.  For example:
Show In (Show In Target Id: Package Explorer)

Then you can request a specific editor be exposed in your package explorer.
