Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 20080525200304) Java: 1.6.0_10-beta; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 11.0-b11 System: Linux version 2.6.22-14-generic running on i386; UTF-8; en_US (nb) Userdir: /home/jp159440/.netbeans/dev Now, when item is selected in list of macro (Options-> Editor->Macros) the focus is moved to Macro Code. This makes browsing the list very hard, since the user must put focus back and then he can move to next item. IMO it would be better if behaves like code template browsing - e.g. without focus move
I see, it should be easy to fix. We might just want to intercept ENTER keystrokes and move the focus to the code editor panel. Ideally the whole panel should be easy to control by keyboard.
Vita Stejskal agreed that he would review and integrate a patch for this issue contributed by the NetFIX [1] team. [1] http://wiki.netbeans.org/NetFIX
Created attachment 86125 [details] Patch for this issue
I have attached a patch which works as requested in this issue. The table selection does not shift the focus to the macro code text field. When ENTER key is pressed then the focus is shifted to the Macro Code Field. Please review with regards Tushar Joshi, Nagpur NetFIX Team
Vito, could you please review Tushar's patch and integrate it if you accept it? Thanks a lot!
