Description Charley Wang

2010-05-05 14:59:30 EDT

This appears to occur off the install site as well as from trunk. 

When installed, the SystemTap plugin takes over the ctrl+Y key combination, which is used on many systems as a shortcut for 'Redo.' 

Reproduce:
Hit ctrl-Y with SystemTap installed in Eclipse -- get a box that says "Enter Script details"


Also, this dialog box does not go away when it is closed (it disappears when cancel is hit, but not with the 'x')

Patch for 311780

Allows the CreateModuleAction dialog to close when the dialog is closed.

Also changes the hotkeys for Export Script and Create Module Action from "ctrl-X" and "ctrl-Y" to "ctrl-1" and "ctrl-2" respectively. The latter two actions do not appear to conflict with any major editing shortcut keys.

Thanks for filing this, Charley.  I've been meaning to file it myself :)

Don't use Ctrl-1 and Ctrl-2.  Ctrl-1 is the quick fix shortcut.  I don't know about Ctrl-2.  TBH I think a good quick fix for this is to not have any shortcuts for these action and to try to come up with something for 0.6.

Commented out the shortcut keys.

ctrl-4 and ctrl-5 appear to be unused, ctrl-alt-x and ctrl-alt-y as well.

Those are probably okay choices for 0.6 but let's leave it uncommented for 0.5.1.  Feel free to un-comment and change the shortcuts on trunk.  Thanks, Charley.

Sure! They are commented out on branch 0.5.0, and uncommented as ctrl+4 and ctrl+5 on trunk until further discussion.
