Description cezariusz 2004-09-20 14:13:52 UTC 
When I press Alt+Q to select class members 
navigator I cannot use it without mouse. I can 
type a letter to find a function, but I cannot 
expand the combo, narrow it's contents with 
subsequent typing, not jump to the selected 
member with Enter.

In my opinion, unless otherwise documented, it 
should work like this:

1. Alt-Q jumps to member navigator - that works, 
but it should also open the combo list.

2. Navigator should be a combo with an edit box, 
not only the list. When typing into the edit, 
the list should be narrowed, same as code 
completion list.

3. Pressing Enter on a member should jump to the 
member (same what mouse click currently does).

I'm setting the A11Y keyword as it lacks accessibility. I hope I'm 
doing right :)

Reassigning to editor module.

I tried reproduce it, but it works only sometimes.
(Linux - KDE, jdk1.5.0_b64, NB200409270901.
My steps:
1) Select any item from the combo by mouse

2) Alt-Q (Jump to combo)
3) Use arrows to navigate
4) Enter (select an item)

-> It is not possible to use the Alt-Q to jump to combo. The combo
does not get focus.

Windows XP, jdk1.5.0-rc-b63, NB200409191800

1. Alt+Q jumps to combo, but doesn't open it
2. Arrows navigate through members
3. Enter does nothing

It's very hard to get out of the combo, Esc does nothing, Alt+Q 
keeps focus on the combo. Pressing Tab moves focus somewhere 
(probably to editor toolbar, but there's no visual feedback). 
Several more Tabs eventually moves focus to the editor windows.
