Hi all,
With the Vex build I20090616151716 in Eclipse 3.5.0 (and also with
I20090309041723 in Galileo RC3), both under Windows, I find that whatever
shortcut is set for the "Insert Element" command in Window -> Preferences
-> General -> Keys doesn't work. I have tried with it left at the
default, the Insert key, and found that nothing happens when I hit that
key, and tried changing it to my usual preference, Ctrl-Space, and found
that this just causes a space to be inserted. I note that right-clicking
and selecting "Insert Element" works, though.
This works for me with Vex 1.2.1 in Eclipse 3.1.2 under Windows (where the
default was Ctrl-Space - hence my preference :) ) and Vex 1.2.2 under
Fedora Eclipse (not sure which version it is that came with Fedora 10 -
can check if required).
Thanks in advance,
David

VEX doesn't use the standard Eclipse editor, it has it's own graphical
editing widget. It sounds like there is a bug in some of the
conversion when it migrated from sourceforge to eclipse. Please open a
bug report in the WTP Incubator for this, and patches are always welcome.

It's been a while since I looked at the VEX code, but I would check the
VEX Editor, or the plugin.xml for the extension points for the
keybindings and action handlers. These actually need to be converted
at some point to the new command and handler framework, but that hasn't
been started yet. Let me see if I can get some time this morning to
take a quick look to point you in the correct direction.

I'm the sole developer on the code at the moment. The last time I
touched it was couple of months ago, but pulled away to concentrate on
getting Galileo items out the door. It is still being worked.
You can try the keyboard short cuts from there, but the MultiPage editor
doesn't synchronize the XML source and the VEX Visual Designer
correctly. Plus the VEX data model doesn't correctly handle items like
Namespaces, Processing Instructions or Comments. You loose these when
loading the XML into the VEX Model. This isn't a MultiPage Editor issue
per-say, but makes it very difficult to synchronize the two models.
You can try the MultiPage Editor and it should still work, but results
may vary on it.
