Description davy.claisse 2016-11-29 11:31:02 UTC 
Hi,

I'm using this :
- NetBeans 8.2 Java SE
- OS Independent version
- JDK 1.8.0 update 101
- Linux Mint 18 - 64 bits (kernel 4.4.0-21-generic)

The problem is some shortcuts didn't work anymore :
- CTRL + PAGE_UP (go to the previous tab)
- CTRL + PAGE_DOWN (go to the next tab)
- SHIFT + F11 (Build the project)
- Maybe more, but I don't know which one because I rollback to the previous version at that moment

What did I try to fix this (but without success) ?
- Go to the Tools > Option > Keymap menu
- Affect the same key mapping to the same action. For instance, I set CTR + PAGE_UP to the "go previous tab" action hoping it will restore the feature.

==> This failed.

BUT !
When I tried to affect CTRL+_ to the "Go next tab" action, it worked. So only the old mapping is not recognized anymore.

My guess :
- When you try to affect a shortcut using the CTRL key, NetBeans displays a warning. I suppose something prevent developers to use the CTRL key with some key-mapping but why ?

Would you please either help me to fix this problem or give me the link to a documentation explaining the changes involving this and decided for NetBeans and for which this situation is normal ?

Thank a lot for you help.
