Dejan, any problems with this, or could you ask the UA help representative to comment? Any chance for this to be resolved in Eclipse 3.2? There will be no more enhancement work in 3.2. There are currently no plans to implement this functionality although we would be happy to review a patch. 3.3 is now locked down for features. As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported. Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you. |
On an F1 press, nothing happens when no context ID has been set. Can we add an enhancement to display the full help system for that case? Suggested fix: In org.eclipse.ui.internal.help.WorkbenchHelpSystem, inside WorkbenchHelpListener#helpRequested(HelpEvent), there is the following: if (context != null) { Point point = computePopUpLocation(event.widget.getDisplay()); getInstance().displayContext(context, point.x, point.y); } Can we add: else { getInstance().displayHelp(); } to display the full help system instead of do nothing? Thank you for your attention.
