Description pohl 2007-10-24 01:51:38 UTC
I have noticed that the emacs keybindings in Netbeans 6b1 is missing an essential
cursor-movement key:  ctrl-p, which should move the cursor up a line.

Even more frustrating is the fact that I cannot fix this locally by customizing my
keybinding:  I get a message that says that ctrl-p is owned by the 
""code completion tip popup action".   Worse yet, the aforementioned action
does not appear to be among the actions that can be changed by the user.
(Or, at least, I was unable to find it -- a search field in the keybinding editor
would be delicious.)

Issue number 103005 appears to track a change that claims to have carefully
avoided stealing this keybinding from the emacs binding set, but that appears to
not be the case.

Unless I'm an idiot, which is very likely.

The shortcut is bound to Other -> "Show Code Completion Tip Popup" in Tools-Options -> Keymap. Obviously you are not an
idiot. It's the idiotic shortcuts customizer that drives most people crazy.

I have the same problem on Leopard with NB 6.0.1 and 6.1 M1.

the "code completion tip popup action" is bound to Meta+P, so shouldn't be a problem.
besides, the ctrl+p works on the Windows version of NB.

so what's really at fault here? unless the emacs mode works perfectly, this thing is really not usable.

Max, could you please have a look? There seems to be <bind actionName="tooltip-show" key="O-P"/> binding in
defaults/src/org/netbeans/modules/defaults/Emacs-keybindings.xml file. I think this needs to be changed to 'D-P'. But
you should know this better than I now. Thanks
Comment 4 Max Sauer 2008-02-24 21:38:09 UTC
Fixed, by adding entry in Emacs-keybindings-mac.xml.
