Description Dani Megert CLA 2004-06-17 11:22:00 EDT
3.0 RC2

After talking with Michael we decided to fix bug 65955 by adding the Insert/Del
key related key binding definitions for cut/copy/paste on win32 platform to the
text editing context. Since we are close to 3.0 we do not want to take the risk
to change the key bindings for cut/copy/paste in the global context.

This PR is a reminder to discuss post 3.0 whether these key bindings should be
moved to the general context.

Removing the 3.1 milestone, just to keep things clean for now.  I'll be doing a 
pass of all of my bugs after 3.0 is done. 
 
From the MSDN web site, we were able to find the following: 
 
"The system supports shortcut assignments available in earlier versions of 
Microsoft Windows (ALT+BACKSPACE, SHIFT+INSERT, CTRL+INSERT, SHIFT+DELETE). You 
should consider supporting them (though not documenting them) to support the 
transition of users."

I would like to do this migration during the 3.1 M6 timeframe.

Dani: Will you have a moment at some point to move these bindings from
"org.eclipse.ui.editors" to "org.eclipse.ui"?  Perhaps sometime after the
integration build this week?  We need to make the change at the same time to
avoid introducing conflicts.
Comment 3 Dani Megert CLA 2005-02-22 03:41:55 EST
Sure. I can directly move them to org.eclipse.ui if you want.
Comment 4 Douglas Pollock CLA 2005-02-22 09:43:19 EST
Okay, if you want to do so, feel free.  Just bear in mind:
+ All the platform-specific bindings to Ctrl+Insert should be removed (e.g.,
Motif, etc.)
+ The new syntax (e.g., M1+INSERT) is preferred to the old syntax (e.g.,
Ctrl+Insert).
Comment 5 Dani Megert CLA 2005-02-22 13:53:02 EST
Fixed in HEAD of org.eclipse.ui and org.eclipse.ui.editors.
Unrelated issue is covered in bug 86184.

Doug please verify.

The change looks like the change I wanted.  Thanks.

I'll verify during the 3.1 M6 test pass....
Comment 7 Douglas Pollock CLA 2005-03-30 15:12:39 EST
Verified the plugin.xml.  I'm on Motif, so testing the Windows case specifically
is difficult.  Please re-open this bug if you have problems with it on Windows.
