Description pfelenda 2004-02-04 12:14:14 UTC 
beta 3.6 build [200402030140]

I tried add shortcut to global keybindings
(Tools|Options->Editing|Editor Settings->Global
Key Bindings)
but I added shortcut used in local Java Key
Bindings. The shortcut was assigned without
conflicts, but didn't work. It was called action
from Java Key Bindings.

I observed 
1) that the Global Key Bindings dialog checks
added shortcuts and if is used in this (Global)
dialog then print the red colored info about
conflicts.
2) the local Key Bindings e.g. for Java Editor
checks both keybindings (local and global).

The bahaviour should be the same for both dialogs.
There should be checked all shortcuts:
1) the system shorcuts (Tools|Key Bindings),
2) Global Key Bindings
3) local keybindigs (for Java, JSP ...) mentioned
above
The bahavior that the local shortcuts rewrite the
global is good, but user should know the
information about all conflicts. There is a lot of
shorcuts in IDE and user doesn't know all the key
combinations.

The 3) is likely a problem. It may be problem from performance point
of view to read all the bindings for _all_ the mime types.
Another problem are conflicts with IDE-level shortcuts. It would be
nice  to unify shortcuts but the editor requires multi-key shortcuts
which IDE  does not support yet.
Thus assigning to future.

Comment 6 Martin Roskanin 2005-06-30 10:07:11 UTC 
Also please check the problem mentioned at issue #59529
If you bound IDE global keybinding (via Tools/Keyboard Shortcuts), there is no
check for the keystroke already used in editor specific shortcuts
(Tools/Options/Editing/Editor Settings/ <and its subnodes> / keybindings/)
(and vice versa)
AFAIK, both keybindings dialogs sholud be unnified in the near future
Comment 7 Martin Roskanin 2005-11-07 14:42:41 UTC 
keybindings are no longer mime type sensitive...
