Description Missing name CLA 2011-06-30 03:52:54 EDT 
I noticed that most of the buttons in eclipse dialogues have a shortcut like Alt+F for forward or Alt+B for backward etc.
What is missing are these shortcuts for "Ok" and "Cancel" please add them for convenience reasons.

Thanks.

'Cancel' is usually synonymous with hitting the Esc key. For dialogs that are not harmful, the 'OK' button is the default button for the dialog and just hitting the 'Enter' key will act as though it is click on the 'OK' button.

Making a global change like this now will likely affect the mnemonics that have been set on other existing controls in a dialog.

"Enter" and "Esc" keys are used for this purpose.
