According to the Permanent UI specification for NB IDE [1] there are following problems with *Go to Rails Action or View* menu item(s) in main menu of the NB IDE 1, the mnemonic should be "R" Please, follow the UI Review process [2] to get the changes approved or fix it [1] http://wiki.netbeans.org/MainMenu [2] http://wiki.netbeans.org/UIReviewProcess
Will fix the mnemonic.
Actually the mnemonic is correctly set to 'R', but pressing 'R' opens the Run menu. I don't know what's causing this, maybe an issue somewhere in the core platform or JDK. Not sure what would be the right component for this, reassigning to 'ide' for further evaluation. IMO the priority could be lowered. Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 080811) Java: 1.5.0_15; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 1.5.0_15-b04 System: Linux version 2.6.24-19-generic running on amd64; UTF-8; en_US (nb)
The same happens to me when I press <Alt-t> followed by 'r'. I would expect '_T_ools -> _R_uby Gems ' to be triggered. But after pressing 'r' the _R_un menu steals the focus. So mnemonic, correctly set on _R_uby Gems is unusable.
I already once reassigned this to 'ide' from 'ruby/rails', please see the comments here before reassigning further.
So who is responsible for this? Who is going to fix it?
works for me. Be in IDE, press ALT(and hold it), then press N and then R. If you are have a rb file opened then you can cycle between items 1, Go to Rail Viewe or Action 2, Previous Document -> closing as fixed. The Tools > Ruby Gems works for me too. The trick (or feature) is that you have to hold the ALT whole the time.
Does not for me. E.g. also Alt-D, e (_D_ebug | Apply Cod_e_ Changes). > The trick (or feature) is that you have to hold the ALT whole the time. That's not true.
works on windows XP (maybe linux specific?, or JDK?)
reassigning to window system. I'm not able to reproduce. Contact Martin for more details if needed. The symptoms are described in description 3, 4, 8
I managed to reproduce this issue and prove that it's in JDK, both on JDK 1.6.0_10 and JDK 1.7. I'm attaching source code which demonstrates it - run it on Linux and press 'Alt+T' and then 'A'. "About" or "About 2" should be selected, but "Refactor" menu is chosen instead. I'll file JDK issue. lhasik, please try to run attached test code and reproduce error as well, thanks.
Created attachment 68964 [details] small Swing app demonstrating the problem
I filed JDK bug http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=6744230
Note to HIE: Issue has easy workaround - get rid of conflicting mnemonics and all will work OK - please consider to change mnemonics in such way, thanks.
I can reproduce with the MenuTest on windows XP
