[eclipse-pmc] Feature Request: [KeyBindings] provide conflict information to users outside of logging
|
Request to approve a feature to notify the user about key conflicts.
GOALS/BENEFITS:
In 3.2 we didn't notify users about failing keybindings at all, and in 3.3
you still have to know to go to the .log file. We seek to notify the users
using the same mechanism as "partial key completion" i.e. pop up the same
dialog as if you had typed ALT+SHIFT+Q or ALT+SHIFT+X. This would allow
them to pick a command to execute or launch the keys preference page to
resolve the conflict
CORRESPONDING BUG(S):
Bug 186403 [KeyBindings] provide conflict information to users outside of
logging
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=186403
RISKS:
This is low risk, using support already available in the keybinding
framework. This introduces no new API.
PERFORMANCE IMPACTS:
This should be minimal. The collection of conflicts was already being
calculated, it's just making the information available at different point
in time.
Later,
