Re: [platform-ui-dev] Re: Proposed accelerator change: using Ctrl+Shift+B for build
|
For our emacs keybinding support, the editor should get the key before the
menu mnemonic (we are going to extreme measures to whack the mnemonics and
accelerators to support this).
Do you have a case where this is not so?

I was refering to a window's *accelerators* (shorcuts) - such as
Alt+<letter> combinations in, say, an emacs editor view - being 'stolen'
by
Eclipse's top-level menu mnemonics (also activated by Alt+<letter>).

It is not recommended to use mnemonics for controls in a main window,
other than for the menus, precisely for this reason.
You cannot predict whether there will be conflicts. And even if we did
allow bottom-up lookup of mnemonics, it would be confusing to the user to
see duplicates.

Top-level menu mnemonics in particular are a big issue, as they steal
Alt+<letter> combinations. Not only additional plug-ins may add their own
top-level menus, but once a product gets translated (Spanish, French,
etc.), all these Alt+<letter> will now steal *different* letters...
