Bug 44989

Description Eric Estievenart 2003-10-16 00:16:20 EDT

It is really great to be able to type the key sequence instead
of typing a string describing it. But honestly, guys,
the new preference page is unusable. I would have logged it
as an enhancement request, but it is an UI regression from 2.1.

Yes, the arborescent view of the keys beside the tree of the
preferences was a bit strange in the UI, but at least it permitted
to jump from one action to another without opening one or two combos.

With it and the new control reading the sequence, anybody would
be able to set its usual stepping keys in less than 4 seconds.
With the new one, it is more than 20 seconds.

What would be great would be to :
- Keep the category combo over...
- ...a list of the commands of the category, which would have
  two columns, e.g.

Step Into         Shift+F5
Step Over         F6
Step Return       F7
Step With Filters F5
(the second one would be the active key, or whatever,
maybe with dots or 'more')

So that at one glance and with 4 clicks and 4 key strokes anybody could
setup the proper key bindings for stepping for example.

Hope this helps
