[cdt-dev] Quick Fix vs Quick Assist

[Kos <kosashi@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I have a question about two extension points of CDT. Let's have a look at their descriptions:

org.eclipse.cdt.ui.quickFixProcessors:
"This extension point allows to add a Quick Fix processor to offer new Quick 
Fixes on C/C++ problems. "

org.eclipse.cdt.ui.quickAssistProcessors:
"This extension point allows to add a Quick Assist processor to offer new Quick 
Assists in the C/C++ editor. "

The comments suggest that a "quick fix" is triggered on a specific problem while "quick assist" is something which can be called any time in the editor.

This division seems clear, but I've noticed that the function "Rename in file", which according to above definitions is a Quick Assist, is available in the menu available by Ctrl+1 - and in the Edit menu it is written that Ctrl+1 triggers "Quick Fix". I'm confused now - Is there an inconsistency here?
