| Key binding for terminate - works 3.0, not 3.1 [message #286069] |

Please help me! I use a shortcut key for terminating my app extensively
and can no longer do this since upgrading to 3.1.
You can no longer map a key binding shortcut to the terminate operation
since the debug view no longer auto-selects the last run application.
Since this is the case, the terminate menu item is greyed out (in the
debug view) until you select a context (application) first. (Thus the
shortcut does nothing.) In 3.0 this was not the case.
And since the console view always selects the current application and has
a terminate button, there is no reason the app shouldn't still allow the
key binding to work.
Does anyone know how to make this work in 3.1 (it's a problem for both
builds I've tried - 3.1M3 and RC1)
You should be able to create a key binding for Terminate All, which would
also solve my problem since I mostly run one app at a time, but this
ability does not exist either.
Comments/suggestions???

It's not that the key binding itself is broken, just the behavior of the
debug view that has changed, effectively breaking terminate.
To see what I mean:
With a project set up to run, first have the debug view open.
Run the application in your project.
You will see in the debug view:
- <Project> [Java Application]
-<path>/j2re1.4.2/bin/javaw.exe(Date started)
This is the issue- in 3.0 and earlier, the javaw.exe line if the last run
application would AUTOMATICALLY get selected. This in turn would enable
the terminate button in this view (and thus the key binding).
In 3.1 however, there is no selection made, so the terminate button is not
enabled (since there is no context of what you want to terminate) and thus
the key binding won't work. You would need to open this view and make a
selection first, THEN the key binding works as you would expect, which is
not much of a shortcut now is it...
Note also if you have the console view open, this DOES switch to the last
run application and it also has its own terminate button, which is enabled
as soon as you run your project. Unfortunately the context of the key
binding seems to be to the terminate in the debug view, not the console
view so this doesn't help in any way that I can tell...
Any ideas?

Submit a bug with exactly what you explained, or create you own command and
keybinding plugin. ;-)

That is just the way newsgroups work. This is not a push-model forum
(eg, mailing list), it is a pull-model.
