Description stevemolitor 2007-06-28 00:13:58 UTC 
When debugging the hot key for 'continue' is command-f5.  Unfortunately this is also the default key-binding to turn on universal access in OS X.  So instead 
of continuing to the next breakpoint, command-f5 turns on voice commands, causes selected windows to be highlighted with a black outline, causes double 
entries on the mac system menu (one for voice, one normal), etc.  In other words if you've never used universal access before (and most users don't) it seems 
like your system is totally wacked out.  It took me a long time to figure out what the problem was.  I thought debugging in NetBeans was causing some weird 
conflicts with the OS or something.

The solution is simply to change the hot key to something else.

Reassigning this issue to newly created 'ruby' component.
Comment 2 Torbjorn Norbye 2007-08-10 01:31:46 UTC 
Generic debugger keybinding; reassigning to debugger (and cc'ing Ondrej Langr, responsible for the IDE keybindings)
Comment 3 Martin Entlicher 2007-08-10 14:37:03 UTC 
Inability to use F5 shortcut would have impact on debugger usability, continue is an important action.

Ondro, can you please investigate whether this is a real problem and how is it configured on Mac?

I do not work on Mac, so I'm not familiar with differences between F5, Command-F5, Control-F5,...

Currently Continue is "F5", Debug Main Project is "Ctrl-F5".
Comment 4 Ondrej Langr 2007-08-10 21:00:47 UTC 
The keybinding for continue has changed from Ctrl + F5 (Cmd + F5 on mac) to F5 (also F5 on mac) some time ago. I guess
either mac keybindings or NetBeans version the reporter is using does not reflect it yet. Anyway .. this does not mean
the problem is solved, it only means it is of less impact as Start debugging tends to be less used than Continue, which
is the reason why the shortcuts of the two actions have been swapped.
Comment 5 Roman Ondruska 2007-08-13 10:44:52 UTC 
Ondreji, this change (CONTINUE: Ctrl + F5 -> F5) has not been done since it was finally declined by debugger i-team. I
thought you had this info--sorry if it has not got to you.
Comment 6 Roman Ondruska 2007-08-25 11:02:31 UTC 
Ok, the change has been done, but not in debugger -- this is switched by options debugger does not maintain. Reassigning.
