Re: [platform-debug-dev] Remapping of short cut keys

The background for is that we want to investigate whether we can free up F5
from the debugger for the Refresh action. It isn't decided yet whether we
will
actually do this. This needs to be coordinated with the Platform UI team
first.

The alternative is to add support for F5 in the Packages view as a key
listener as we did before. However, this has a consequence that when the
packages view
is shown in the Debug perspective, then there is a short cut conflict and
F5
in the packages view will not work.

Due to a request for the debugger to not use the "F5" key (as this
generally is used for Refresh actions), the
the debug committers are planning to remap some of the short cuts.

Step Into --> F6
Step Over --> F7
Step Return -->F8
Resume --> F9.

F5 is then free for refresh and you only have to move your hand over one
key to get used to the new shortcuts.
You will notice that Relaunch Last has been removed....but not really.

F11 and Ctrl-F11 are filling this void.  F11 relaunches the last launch in
Debug mode.
Ctrl-F11 relaunches the last launch in Run mode.

Thanks
