Description

We still consider the behavior of views and editors as difference. Move back and forward between editors should remain independent of the views.

I would say that this is broken from a user POV. Is not intuitive nor user friendly. I suggest to keep it open/HELPWANTED. Would be a nice contribution if this was fixed.

If I'm not mistaken the request was specific to let the views in the editor part stack play along with the forward/back buttons. There are probably other cases which are addressed by the subject "Views and editors on same part stack behavior needs to be clearer".

The "Last Edit Location" is specific for editors and I think it would be hugely confusing if it would include views. See http://help.eclipse.org/luna/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.user%2Ftips%2Fplatform_tips.html for a description of the functionality. (In reply to Lars Vogel from comment #5) I think Hitesh mentioned Forward and Back (ALT/LEFT ALT/RIGHT) not specifically Last Edit Location. Please dock a view in the editor stack and see how confusing this becomes.

Please dock a view in the editor stack and > see how confusing this becomes. From the help: Workbench editors keep a navigation history. If you open a second editor while you're editing, you can press Navigate > Backward (Alt+Left Arrow, or the Left arrow icon back arrow on the workbench toolbar) to go back to the last editor.

Yes, if this get fixed we must also update the help. ;) Did you already try to dock a view in the editor stack and try ALT/LEFT ALT/RIGHT?

ALT/LEFT and ALT/RIGHT works across stacks, which I like. Adding views to this would be confusing IMHO. I suggest that we agree, that we both disagree. |
