Description Maya Venkatraman 2001-12-10 20:42:41 UTC 
F8 is the JLF recommended short cut for give focus to 
splitter bar. IDE uses F8 for step over. We should 
have someother shortcut for giving focus to the 
splitter bar - suggested short cut - Alt F12.

Comment 1 Jiri Mzourek 2002-01-02 11:03:22 UTC 
F8 doesn't work in Swing (and other shortcuts related to splitter pane
seems to me don't work too), tested on JDK1.4rc (SwingSet). Could you
fill a bug to JDK?
Comment 2 Maya Venkatraman 2002-01-02 14:38:41 UTC 
I will file against JDK .. but lets keep Alt F12
"free" to assign to this functionality when
it appears ?
Comment 3 Jiri Mzourek 2002-01-02 14:44:40 UTC 
Yes, we should keep it in mind. Thanks.

Comment 9 _ tboudreau 2004-04-19 16:51:30 UTC 
This seems pretty non-relevant in the new winsys; also, given that, for example, the editor 
is surrounded by splitter bars, how would you decide which one?  It might be nice to have 
some UI for resizing windows with the keyboard (although one could argue that maximize 
is enough).
