Ken

I like your ideas - making things similar between different IDEs.

I suspect that some of the mapping names are from Eclipse and not the fault of the Rational crew - just as some of the bugs are not their fault - a common thing we've experienced more recently, as reported here.

The way you can't use "A" - it just doesn't make sense - dumb question - you mention 2 keyboards - are you talking about 2 physical keyboards, or the layouts?

The Rational guys here will have to weigh in - this IS really strange!

Cheers

Vern,

Window>Preferences>General>Keys
I check for the filter CTRL+SHIFT+A, I have NOTHING, because I have already DELETED THEM....

Then I filter by "Open a Member", and try to MAP to CTRL+SHIFT+A, and the "A" does NOT TAKE....

The Rest of the alphabet works fine. But the Letter "A" will NOT work on the Shortcut Key mapping....

I have been using RSE/LPEX/WDSC/RDP/RDi over 8-years, and love it over all!!!

That is my problem, I CANNOT, the program: RDI 9.0.1 will NOT LET ME TYPE "A" with the CTRL+SHIFT+A for whatever reason....
<Very Perplex Look> Neither did RDP, nor did WDSC. OH WELL...

So, I have mapped the Quick open of Member to CTRL+SHIFT+Q, and have been using that for about 8-years...

OH well, pick your battles, CTRL+SHIFT+Q works for me...
<grin> NOTE: Of course I remove the binding for "Quick Diff Toggle", so the only mapping to "Open a member" is Ctrl+Shift+Q.

PS. These also happen to my co-worker about 4-years ago. I said I don't know, why it does not work, so I just map it to Ctrl+Shift+Q, and it also worked for him.
I am still completely perplexed, why I cannot get this work. OH well, I have a work-around, so that works for me... <Big Smile>

I found another experience user at my company, and he just uses a Filter to open a member. When he needs to open a different member, he changes the filter...
Oh well, that works too!!! <LOL> To each their own!

Use RDi 9.0.1 how you can get it work for your preferences...

PS. Thanks Vern, I wish you could see how the Letter "A" does not work on my keyboard binding for shortcuts... The letter key "A" works fine on my keyboard. And I have two different keyboards too!!! Neither work for keyboard mapping. I must have a GREMLIN or something that prevent it from working for me... <LOL>

I have C-S-M Mapped to "Ctrl+]" to toggle between matching Logic/Brackets. So, it works like/similar to Visual Studio. Because I use Ctrl+Shift+M to add a quick Monitor in debug! <Joy Joy>

>From a "NEWBIE" point of view, how do you example that "C-S-M" means to toggle between Bracket/Logic Statements. And you can map it to your own preferences?!?!?!

What is S-F4 to someone, who has not used SEU? That stands for F16, which means "Find Next". Which I map to F3=Find next, like Visual Studio, Notepad++, PDF Reader, etc....

Some of the "COMMAND-Text" in key mapping should have their TEXT UPDATED... OH well, I digress...

Because I figure, that someone could put in Better Text shortcut mapping names!!! That is just PLAIN LAZY on the Rational Developer Team...
Just a small missing detail...

Hi Ken

I have CS-A doing what I want, and have for some time, and I'm using RDi
9.01

There have been several threads on this - there might be a need to fully delete something - at least, you should use the filter text in the Keys section of Preferences.

The filter text would be Ctrl+Shift+A - then I have these entries only -

"Edit","Occurrences in File","Ctrl+Shift+A","Editing in Structured Text Editors"
"IBM i","Open a member in Remote Systems LPEX Editor","Ctrl+Shift+A","In Windows"

I think the following shows where those values belong in the maintenance
- these came from a CSV export of all the keys. Here's how I read it -

"Category","Command","Binding","When"

HTH

Bob,

I apologize; it appears that you have a shortcut key to "Quick Diff Toggle" too...

I changed my shortcut for "Quick Diff Toggle" to CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+Q, since I hardly ever use the "Quick Diff Toggle"...

I don't know why, but since WDSC 6.0, RDi 9.0.1 does NOT allow me to use map to the Standard Shortcut key CTRL+SHIFT+A. It simple does NOT ALLOW on my WDSC/RDP/RDI....
(It ignores the letter "A" when I try to map it, but allows me to use
the letter "Q". Which I picked for "Q"uick open a member... <LOL>

So, that is why I switched over to CTRL+SHIFT+Q for "Open a Member..."

I wanted to explain, just in-case others run into this same sort of problem...

I have tried the reset on my shortcut, but it STILL DOES not allow me to use the CTRL+SHIFT+A. It hasn't worked on my PC for some strange reason since WDSC 6.0.

OH well, not a biggie to me!
<Big Smile>

I love that Eclipse is highly customizable for our preferences, but it can drive me NUTS, when I forget about little things like that...
<Sorry>

PS. Shucks! Working as designed!

Subject: [WDSCI-L] RDI 9.0.1 shortcut to open member does not always

I have already remapped the Open A Member shortcut to Ctrl+Shift+Q due to intermittent failures using the original Ctrl+Shift+A combination.

I am now experiencing intermittent failures on Ctrl+Shift+Q to open a member where it "appears" to do nothing.

I checked the error log and found these errors:
Could not retrieve EHandlerService or ICommandService from context
evaluation context fororg.eclipse.wst.xml.ui.reload.dependencies

The Exception Stack Trace box shows:
An exception stack trace is not available.

Also, the session data shows:
