Hi,
Netbeans has an extremely long (and getting longer) list of keyboard
shortcuts. Part of the problem is that (for the most part) keyboard
shortcuts are not context-sensitive nor are they able to be
context-sensitive. I'll give you a simple example I raised a few years back:
When the editor Find & Replace dialog is focused, we have "Replace" and
"Replace All" buttons. It would be nice if we could map ALT+A to
"Replace All" as many other applications do. Unfortunately, ALT+A is
already mapped to the Refactor pulldown menu. The platform API does not
allow mapping the same keyboard accelerator to different UI actions
depending on the context. As a result, we end up with akward
combinations like ALT+P for Replace All.
Please see https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=222843 for
additional context.
Is anyone else interested in this issue? Is anyone interested in working
on it?
Thank you,
Gili
