Description
Eugene Kuleshov
Afaik the Eclipse convention is to focus the page when an object of the corresponding type is selected (e.g. File search for file, Java for Java file which can be annoying more often than not). We currently selecte the Task search page when a task is selected in the Task List. Willian: if I recall you added the original version of this functionality. Did you encounter anything about part selections? The referring bug is bug#168756. The problem is that it only works if you have something selected, because it tries to get an adapter to ISearchPageScoreComputer from selection, and calculates the best matching search page based on that. So, if you just start Eclipse, active task list view with nothing selected and type Ctrl+H, it does not work. It works based on platform's selection service. If you are curious, the implementation is in org.eclipse.search.internal.ui.SearchDialog.getPreferredPageIndex(). Mylyn has been restructured, and our issue tracking has moved to GitHub [1]. We are closing ~14K Bugzilla issues to give the new team a fresh start. If you feel that this issue is still relevant, please create a new one on GitHub. [1] https://github.com/orgs/eclipse-mylyn |
