1. Open multiple buffers and dock some buffers into a new frame. 2. If moving through the jump list switches to another frame, the jump list history ends. You can no longer jump back or forward through the list. It would be nice to be able to jump accross frames.
Version: 'Dev' -> 3.2
I think I can describe the problem better now (if it still is the same problem: ie. the code has not changed in the meantime) The problem is due to the window manager behavior, especially when it is set to "click to focus". On kde2.1 when you press ctrl-k (in the situation described in this bug report, and your pointer moves the the next frame) the focus will not change to the new frame. The pointer will move to the new window, but the focus will stay on the old one. as a result typing ctrl-l has not effect. a fix for "focus follows mouse" environments: changing the window manager to focus follows mouse, and placing the mouse in an overlapping region of the two frames will ensure that when the control history changes the frame, that the new frame pops to the top and that the focus is then the new frame. Then pressing ctrl-l will get you back to the previous frame. a fix for "click to focus" environements: after the focus changes the frame, one should use the mouse or Alt-tab to set the focus to the new frame. Alt-l will then do switch back to the old frame. (and then of course another Alt-Tab will put the focus in the new frame) Is it possible from Java to not only place the new frame to the foreground but also to set the focus on it? I am now using the latest build with the blackdown jdk1.3 Note: come to think of it, it may be nice to be able to choose whether there is one command history that can jump accross frames, or whether each frame has its own command history. Of course one would have to come up with a good way to allow new command histories to be created when a buffer is moved to a new frame. This may be a little tricky.
Come to think of it the problem I am now describing is probably a new/different problem.
I forgot to mention that I was using the development build 151 at the time
The problem with focus is generic please see the evaluation of http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4310187.html IMO several command histories would be rather tricky. I do not want to advocate the current behavior but I think that the people would still use just one command history. To mark the places in one source there is currently Ctrl+F2 / F2 shortcuts for bookmarks. Henry, if you think that this feature would be useful we can turn it to enhnacement and discuss the further details on nbdev and possibly other mailing lists. Otherwise we will close this bug as WONTFIX. What do you prefer?
I'm turning this into enhancement request. Summary: We want to have more command histories. It would be configurable - which actions are recorded in the particular history.
Target milestone -> 3.3
Target milestone -> 3.3.1.
Set target milestone to TBD
Integrated into 'main-golden', will be available in build *201304172301* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress) Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main-golden/rev/024bf55ed8ae User: Jiri Rechtacek <jrechtacek@netbeans.org> Log: added @RF, NB-Core-Build #9101, #9777, #9985, #9990, #10007 failed, other passed
IMHO already resolved by maintaining Alt+Left/Right history.
