Windows Next Editor: Ctrl + Tab [message #162562] Wed, 26 November 2003 18:38 Go to next message

eclipse.platform -

First, apologies if this question has been answered thousands of times
before. I'm a "newsgroup newbie" though I have several year of development
experience using online message boards. I've connected to the Eclipse
newsgroup through Outlook Express, searched the downloaded threads, but
found nothing on this topic. Please let me know if I can do something to
more adequatlely search the newsgroup.

The question is simple. I've been using Eclipse, and have been using it
on/off for a few years. One small item has continued to bewilder me - how
can I change the next/previous editor keys to CTRL+TAB? I have Eclipse
3.0.0 now, and previously, I could do it, but it still wouldn't let me tab
through multiple pages (only the immediate next one). CTRL+F6 lets you go
through all of them. Just a nitpick, and I can get used to CTRL+F6, but I
hate having to use both of my hands to move through pages!

Thanks,
Josh

AFAIK, you can't. Ctrl+TAB is quite hard-wired to jumping from element
to element anywhere in the UI. You can always assign any keybinding
(except for Ctrl+Tab... :-]) you want to the "Next Editor" command in
the Workbench->Keys preferences.

Not true - I have mapped CTRL-Tab, CTRL-Shift-Tab to cycle through my
open editors in the same way that CTRL-F6/CTRL-Shift/F6 does.
It used to work imperfectly, but as of 3.0M4 (and maybe earlier) it
works flawlessly.

Windows->Preferences->Workbench->Keys
Select Category: Window, Name: Next Editor
Put cursor in Key Sequence, Name: field, hit ctrl-tab, click add

So something similar for Previous Editor ctrl-shift-tab

Thanks! I hadn't thought to try that recently, but it works like a champ in
M5. It will save me a TON of time from now on
