I generally like this idea, but i see two possible problems with it: 1) I do a lot of web app development so i'm constantly working on both classes (CTRL-N) and non-class files (CTRL-SHIFT-N). So, if CTRL-E and CTRL-N are combined, I'm kinda left out in the cold if i type CTRL-E but want to edit a non-class file that is no longer in my recent files list. That is, combining the two saves me a keystroke only if i'm looking for a class file.
2) The CTRL-E dialog already allows typing to jump to a file in the list. Changing that behavior to instead select *any* file in your project (not just recently used ones) could be annoying, especially when you have several files with the same or similar names (as i do). For example, maybe i know i want to edit the "index.jsp" file that i just edited a few minutes ago and not any of the other dozen or so "index.jsp" files in my project. Perhaps one or more of the following: * Extend CTRL-E behavior so that if i type something and there's no match in the recent files list then a sub-window appears (similar to a submenu) listing files that DO match. Though i guess the question then becomes whether to show class files, non-class files, or both. And also what to do if there *is* an exact match (e.g. "index.jsp"), but it's not the one i want--maybe typing TAB could force a sub-window to open so i could select one of the other "index.jsp" files? * Allow me to type CTRL-N, CTRL-SHIFT-N, or CTRL-E in any of the corresponding windows, and keep what i've already typed. It's probably embarrasing how often i type CTRL-N when i really meant to type CTRL-SHIFT-N, but annoying that i have to then hit ESC, then CTRL-SHIFT-N, and then retype the name of the file. I dunno...maybe mine are dumb ideas...too early :) chris "Thomas Singer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > > The other enhancement I would add is to allow you to press CTRL-N from the > > CTRL-E list.
