Sync view: Mark multiple files FROM KBD? [message #165793] Thu, 04 December 2003 08:19 Go to next message

I'm rodentophobic. I already know to hit space on a file in the sync
view, then Shift-F10, C, to commit single files. But sometimes I would
like to commit multiple files in one go.

With the rodent, I ctrl-click them all, then invoke the context menu.

How to do the equivalent of ctrl-clicking from the keyboard?

I read "Navigating the user interface using the keyboard", but that didn't
tell.

Using 3.0M4. Will upgrade to M5 as soon as MyEclipse supports it (should
be any day now).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't know of any platform where multiple
selection of none consecutive elements in a tree widget is possible just
using the keyboard. If I am wrong, you should log a bug report against
Platform UI.

I don't know how platforms' tree widgets behave. I avoid them like
the plague ;-)

Is it the intention of the Eclipse developers that they will stick
with whatever the platforms provide? That would be a pity -- I want
to use Emacs, or better still, vi keys to navigate the tree widgets,
for instance. Type "/ foo Return" to find the next entry matching the
regexp foo, then hitting "n" would go to the next one... Hm, tasty!

(But using C-s foo C-s C-s ... to find entries is also fine with me.)

While this seems simple, it is not. Typically, our trees are lazily
populated. I.e. If you open the CVS repository view, you will NOT fetch
the entire CVS Tree. But if you don't know what's in the tree, how do
you navigate to the next entry that matches your regex?

I see. I wasn't aware when I was talking about this. However, having
"search" do its thing among the visible items could be a zeroth
approximation. Or it could search amongst the items it knows about (even
if they are currently hidden).

And besides, I think I'd use C-p and C-n (for Emacs) or j and k (for vi)
much more often. (Had I known about the thorny issues of searching, I
might have abstained from mentioning it.) Why do I have to move my
fingers from the home row and use the cursor keys for this?

Okay, I already have to move them from the home row to use Ctrl-F7 to get
to the view in the first place. I tried to bind C-x j to do like Ctrl-F7,
but that has interesting effects: it pops up the popup, and then I can
move around it using the cursor keys, then use Return to select a view I
like. So even with this, I can't keep the hands on the home row :-)
And, yes, I would like to be able to use C-p and C-n after C-x j, instead
of the cursor keys. Even better: allow me to hit the first letter of each
view to select it.

On windows, hold down the Ctrl key, and press space on each file that
you want to select.

Hey, cool! It seems that the very first press of space doesn't do.
So I need to do it twice. In my previous tries, I never thought I
could use Ctrl-Space, so I didn't try that hard.
