besides issue 37226, there are some workflow issues with the quick window switching. often I'll go to the filesystems to open a file and get the filesystems window at the top of the stack. I then accidentally switch to it a few times before I get fed up and activate a few editor windows to push it down the stack. There are a bunch of ways to fix this I guess: - make two lists, one without non-editor windows - remove the none-editor files from the ctrl+` list - have a toggle in the options window to choose if non-editor windows should be included (also note that most non-editor windows are infrequently used and already have shortcuts)
reassigned to core/window system
Jano, what do you think about it?
Sounds reasonable. Will see what we can do with it.
Just want to point out that eclipse has both "editor-only" navigation and "window" navigation mechanisms... When I use eclipse, I rarely use that "window" navigation, so personally I'd switch the default navigation to "editor-only" and allow "window" navigation as an option.
Created attachment 18102 [details] patch to add system property for restricting recent window list to document windows
Hello, I've attached a patch to org.netbeans.core.windows.actions.RecentViewListAction which adds a boolean system property org.netbeans.core.windows.actions.recentViewListAction.RESTRICT_TO_DOCUMENTS, which, if set to "true", restricts the list of windows in the recent file list to document (i.e. MODE_KIND_EDITOR) windows. This works nicely for me, and is a fairly simple patch.
Fixed. Ctrl-Tab now switches between editor windows only.
