[platform-swt-dev] RE: [jdt-debug-dev] Remapping of short cut keys

Eclipse 1.0 users have asked for menu and keyboard equivalents for Run and
Debug toolbar buttons.
This had happened in 2.0 builds.

For example in M5 (20020416) build we have 
Run -> Ctrl-F11
Debug ->  F11
Relaunch Last -> F9

Now you telling us that "Run" and "Debug" keyboard commands will be actually
doing "Relaunch Last Run" and "Relaunch Last Debug".
This is really missleading and wrong. If this is true I strongly urge you to
reconsider.

Subject: [jdt-debug-dev] Remapping of short cut keys



Due to a request for the debugger to not use the "F5" key (as this generally
is used for Refresh actions), the 
the debug committers are planning to remap some of the short cuts. 

Step Into --> F6 
Step Over --> F7 
Step Return -->F8 
Resume --> F9. 

F5 is then free for refresh and you only have to move your hand over one key
to get used to the new shortcuts. 
You will notice that Relaunch Last has been removed....but not really. 

F11 and Ctrl-F11 are filling this void.  F11 relaunches the last launch in
Debug mode. 
Ctrl-F11 relaunches the last launch in Run mode. 

Thanks
