keybinding for focusing a view [message #1299566] Wed, 16 April 2014 22:05 Go to next message

Is there a default keybinding or a way to configure a keybinding for the "focus view" action that is available on package/project explorer views?

I would use the mylyn context view focusing a lot more if there were an easier way for toggling focus on/off than having to reach to click the view action (I avoid plugging in my mouse to my laptop, if I can help it Smile

If this is unavailable out of the box, I can try to contribute it.

Thanks.

There is no keybinding but this seems like a good idea. Feel free to open a bug at https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs and push a review to Gerrit. Keybindings can be configured for commands in Preferences > General > Keys so what you would probably need to do is provide a Command that calls the focus action. The tricky thing is that there's a different focus action for each view, and it would be nice to have one command that calls the focus action for the currently active view, rather than having a separate command for each view, but you would need to find a way to get the focus action (subclass of AbstractFocusViewAction) for a view.

If this is your first time contributing, you might want to take a look at https://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Mylyn_Contributor_Reference#Getting_Started_2

Cheers,
Sam

Hey Sam,

Thanks for the update. I've created a enhancement request: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=433062

Also I have this working in my dev workspace so I will work on getting it pushed to gerrit for review.
