Description
Randy Hudson
See assigned key bindings. The keybinding should be organized under "Source Editing", not the general "Edit" category. Also, the default binding requires an external keyboard. Notebook users will not find this keybinding. Even desktop users will not find it because it is not intuitive that MINUS be treated differently just because it is on the numberpad. Can we change to CTRL+- and CTRL+EQUALS? These are commonly used for zoom in/out. Adding Dirk for second vote on changing the category for the key bindings. Approved by Dirk & Kai. Fixed in builds >20040617 Verified in 200406180010 that all 4 folding commands (Collapse, Expand, Expand All, Toggle Folding) are in the 'Text Editing' category. Randy, I guess you'll have to open a separate PR for changing default keybindings. However, I don't think CTRL+- and CTRL+EQUALS would be well supported by the current keybinding architecture. E.g. I can't press CTRL+EQUALS on a Swiss German keyboard, because EQUALS (=) is Shift+0 on that keyboard layout, and CTRL+Shift+0 does not run a command assigned to CTRL+EQUALS. Couldn't a regional override be used in that case? There are probably more laptop users than users with Swiss German keyboards. We use CTRL+= in GEF and no one mentioned this issue yet. |
