Version: 4.2.0 Build id: I20111205-2330 Cmd-F10, Cmd-Shift-F10, and Shift-F10 normally bring up the gutter menu, system view menu, and context menu (respectively). They fail to work in standalone views. Means to test: 1. Open a perspective with standalone views. I'll attach my own customized version of the Java Browsing perspective here, or you can optionally install the tiny package of hacks from http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~bsd/eclipse-tools/ (not categorized, called Brian's Hacks) or download the plugin and add it to your target platform http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~bsd/eclipse-tools/plugins/bsd.eh_0.0.6.jar 2. Start Eclipse 3. Set the focus to one of the standalone views and click one of the shortcut keys. See nothing happen.
I could imagine why the view menu wouldn't show up but not sure about the others. Will take a look.
The code in ShowViewMenuHandler expects that the part is within a tab folder and looks for the menu's tool item to select. May be possible to introduce some logic in there to create the menu if the part isn't within a tab folder.
Fix pushed to master. http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.ui.git/commit/?id=53550a8e6801d78be18f99c7140b2d86f28a4ffc Thanks for the bug report, Brian.
(In reply to comment #0) > Cmd-F10, Cmd-Shift-F10, and Shift-F10 normally bring up the gutter menu, system > view menu, and context menu (respectively). Both Shift+F10 and Ctrl+Shift+F10 brings up the context menu for me on Windows 7 in 3.x and 4.x. Verified with I20120123-2200 on Windows 7 that Ctrl+F10 will bring up the view menu with Brian's standalone perspective. Brian, could you open separate bugs for the other problems if they are still affecting you? Thanks.
Confirmed Cmd-F10 and Shift-F10 work in MacOS X too. (Thanks Remy) Cmd-Shift-F10 for the system view menu doesn't work though. Will file a separate report for that.
