Description Jon Lachelt CLA 2004-05-24 15:09:38 EDT 
I've used Eclipse 2 for about a year.  I've recently started using 3.0M8.

I found the previous dialog for editing keyboard shortcuts to be more 
intuitive and helpful than the new one.  

1) The tree layout was easy to navigate... especially when it was not obvious 
where to find the shortcut I was looking for.

2) I appreciated the short description of the action.  Usually it is obvious 
what the shortcut means, but sometimes the description is helpful.

That said, I do like the ability to affect the assignment in the different 
contexts (In Dialog, Debugging, etc).  I also like the heirarchical 
organization of those contexts.

Not Platform Text but Platform UI

+1 regarding the missing of the command description
