Build Identifier: 20110301-1815 Some keyboards have keys for controlling a media player such as PLAY/PAUSE, STOP, NEXT/PREV TRACK, VOLUME UP/DOWN, MUTE. When Eclipse has focus these keys are not detected by any other program. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Get a keyboard with non-standard keys such as media controls. 2. Run a media program or other program that shows key events. 3. While Eclipse has focus, press a non-standard key.
Definitely the most annoying Eclipse bug for me, since I regularly use the media keys on my keyboard to control my media player. I have a Logitech G110 keyboard, and Eclipse absorbs the play/pause, stop, and the next/prev track keys, but not volume up/down or mute. Eclipse also absorbs some of the extra G1-G12 function keys my keyboard has. A shame this bug has been known for over two years... I'm surprised there aren't more votes for it.
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. As such, we're closing this bug. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. -- The automated Eclipse Genie.
