Description markiewb 2012-12-02 14:11:37 UTC

[ BUILD # : 201211290002 ]
[ JDK VERSION : 1.7.0_09 ]

File template manager: 
ACTUAL:
contextmenu items have no visible shortcuts for Cut, Copy, Del, Rename
See screenshot.

EXPECTED: visible and working shortcuts

FYI: 
* Cut action does not work currently - http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/
show_bug.cgi?id=223131
* Copy, Del actions work via shortcuts, but the shortcuts are not shown in 
the context menu
* Rename action has no shortcut yet (except mnemonic R in &Rename) -> 
should be F2

Comment 2 Martin Entlicher 2012-12-07 15:09:46 UTC

Shortcut for Rename is defined by changeset:   242404:207396553735
http://hg.netbeans.org/core-main/rev/207396553735

We use standard actions for Cut/Copy/Delete.
I have no idea why the shortcuts are not visible.

I've found out, that the action, which comes from the standard org.openide.actions.CutAction:
org.openide.util.actions.CallbackSystemAction$DelegateAction@d36859[delegate=org.openide.actions.CutAction@115744b]
does not define the Action.ACCELERATOR_KEY

Moving to actions for investigation...

Comment 3 Martin Entlicher 2012-12-07 15:12:28 UTC

Paste has the accelerator, but Cut, Copy and Delete does not. Any idea what can be wrong?

> EXPECTED: visible shortcuts

What makes you believe shortcuts should be visible? Reference to some UI spec is enough. 

However I have to admit I always lived in an impression that shortcuts (like F2 for rename) should not be displayed in the popup menu. Marking your report invalid for now.

However I admit there should be a consistency. Once we know whether shortcuts (like F2 for rename) should be or should not be displayed all violations against the expected behavior will be P2 bugs.

Comment 6 Petr Somol 2012-12-10 12:58:50 UTC

A discussion is now going on regarding menu system, mnemonics, etc. within the NB UI Steering Committee. I am adding this to the committee's attention by adding a dependence to the Mnemonics issue, and reference to this issue to http://wiki.netbeans.org/UIReviewsAreas

It is OK for me, next time i name it as inconsistency. I wondered why and opened this issue.
