Description Jiri Prox 2006-10-02 11:15:08 UTC 
NB 5.5 200610020000

Ctrl-tab shortcut for switching editor window is not listed in keymap and cannot
be changed.
Comment 1 Miloslav Metelka 2006-10-02 16:06:17 UTC 
The feature is implemented by window system.
Personally I doubt whether we should allow this particular shortcut to be
configurable (IMHO it's like someone would want to change Alt-TAB for switching
apps) but of course someone may say that all the shortcuts used in the IDE
should be configurable.
Comment 2 Jiri Prox 2006-10-02 16:15:09 UTC 
There was somebody complaining that ctrl-tab is consumed by his window manager,
so  I think it would be nice to have possibility to change it to avoid such problems
Comment 3 Vitezslav Stejskal 2006-12-13 04:10:10 UTC 
Reassigning to core/window system for evaluation.
Comment 4 David Simonek 2007-01-04 14:02:48 UTC 
Evaluation: Accepted, but it won't be trivial I guess, as Ctrl+Tab isn't regular
shortcut, it is overriden Swing's shortcut. IMO it is low priority, adjusting to P4.

This bug was reported against NetBeans IDE 6.0 or an older release, or against a non-maintained module. NetBeans team does not have enough resources to get to this issue, therefore we are closing the issue as a WONTFIX. If you are interested in providing a patch for this bug, please see our NetFIX guidelines for how to proceed. 

We apologize for any inconvenience.


Thank you.
