RE: [platform-ui-dev] Workbench editor cycling

["Tsai, Philip" <Philip.Tsai@xxxxxxxxxx>]

 :-)  Well, the last response from you in the April thread (BTW, searching was what I did to find that thread) does not indicate where to find the information next.  Looking for your name next to platform-ui-dev threads is how I find your recent thread.  Do a search on your name would return too many unintuitive results.

 One feedback about this is: it will be great if the cycling-editor list is available as a pull-down from the editor area (I would rather have recent navigation history pulldown than a left-and-right editor tab navigation).  I simply find Ctrl-F6 to be quite an unintuitive feature and couldn't quite believe that a nice feature like this will be hidden from the visible UI.  The forward and backward history navigation is such a popular and useful UI feature (e.g. the browser we use everyday, the Eclipse's own help system, and so many other everyday examples) that it surprised and disappointed me to find that such feature is not bundled with the workbench.  The April thread even mentioned that such API wasn't supposed to be publicly available, which would hinder your contribution on this(?).  

 Glad to find that at least someone has thought about this and even contributed a view.  :-)  I will let you know how it works.

 Thanks,
 Philip

P.S. Let me know how you find the view. :)
