I really hate to have to use the mouse just to open or activate a task, or deactivate the current task. In Eclipse I have the habit to use Ctrl+Shift+T every time I want to open a type, or Ctrl+Shift+R to open a resource, wherever it is, or Ctrl+F4 to close the current file. I think the same would be made for tasks.
Created attachment 47001 [details] Initial implementation I made a initial implementation for this feature. Feel free to make any suggestions. It contributes 3 commands: - Open Task -> Ctrl+Shift+F11. - Activate Task -> Ctrl+Shift+F12. - Deactivate All Tasks -> Ctrl+Shift+F9. Unfortunately there is no more "Ctrl+Shift+<any-letter>" keybindings available, so I had to use the F-keys, because of lack of any better idea... F9, F11 and F12 were the more comfortable combinations I found. The "Open Task" and "Activate Task" commands present a dialog like "Open Type/Resource". They support filtering on tasks and query hits, and persist the position/size across open/close sessions. They also use the task activation history to make proposals on filtering, like "Open Type" (filtered tasks who are in history have higher priority than the others; the others came up after the history proposals in alphabetical order).
Cool! Patch applied. Just had to do this before I take off on vacation so that others have a chance to check it out :) That will also give us a chance to formulate opinions on shortcuts and interaction in time for 0.6.2, since we'll need to iterate on this. I fixed a minor bug with task activation not refreshing the list, but that notification should have been encapsulated on our end. This will be in today's dev build.
Good. Thanks Mik!
Willian, I'm re-assigning to you since you resolved this report. We have not come up with better shortcuts than the current Ctrl+Shift+F11/F12 for this, so are you happy with it going out with 0.6.2 with those as the shortcuts? We did consider Ctrl+Alt+Shift+T since we use Ctrl+Shift+Alt in a few other places and it's not much harder to press than Ctrl+Shift...
Done. Still need to add actions to toolbar: bug 154444
OK, I think we can just let the current keybindings at least until we gather more feedback. I considered using Ctrl+Alt+Shift+<ANY KEY>, but my fingers didn't like it very much :)
That's what Eugene said on another report :)
