Build Identifier: 20100917-0705 Left / Right keys in Package Explorer do nothing at all. Expected behavior for Left key: if item has children expanded, collapse item; else move cursor one level up in hierarchy. Expected behavior for Right key: if item has children and is collapsed, expand item; (not sure about case 'else') Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start Eclipse -- 2. go to "Package Explorer" (having something there to navigate) -- 3. try to navigate in the view using the arrow keys. Up and Down keys work as expected, but Left and Right keys do not do anything.
Linux is not Windows. We support the native style of dealing with the widgets. Check your OS for details.
Well, Mozilla Thunderbird, on the same machine, shows the desired behavior. I went and looked at Gtk+, which I guess you meant when referring to "your OS" and "native style". (I am not a Windows user at all. I'm running Gentoo and Gnome.) For future reference, this is what I found: Expand using Shift+Right Collapse using Shift+Left Navigate upwards using Backspace

Sorry, I guess it does and *Shift* + Right/Left also works in Eclipse as expected.
