dev build 200406281800 JDK 1.5 beta 2 CTRL-F4 is supposed to close individual tabs within the VCS Output window (if you right-click on a tab that's what it says) and this works fine if your focus is on the tab itself. The problem is that if you hit CTRL-F4 while your focus is inside the contents of the tab the keyboard shortcut will not work as expected. Users will never explicitly select the tab using the keyboard then hit CTRL-F4; you should make the shortcut work regardless of where you are within the tab.
This is a regression, in 3.6 this works O.K.
In 3.6 it worked, because it removed the selected component rather then the component that was specified as an argument to the discard method. This was a wrong behavior anyway. It's fixed in trunk: /cvs/vcscore/src/org/netbeans/modules/vcscore/commands/CommandOutputVisualizer.java,v <-- CommandOutputVisualizer.java new revision: 1.39; previous revision: 1.38
