Description johnzoet 2004-10-07 03:52:43 UTC 
Build  
 
When I followed the Quick Start I noticed that 
several function keys are not working, like: 
Ctrl-F8 
Ctrl-F5 
 
Other function keys work properly.

I cannot reproduce it. Please check if the keybindings don't collide
with some OS shortcuts.
Comment 2 johnzoet 2004-10-08 09:46:12 UTC 
These are the key bindings of Mandrake 10.0 
==> 
Short Cut Keys: 
 "<Ctrl> + <Alt> + <+>"    # You can easily change your resolution 
by pressing these keys. 
 "<Ctrl> + <Alt> + <->"     # Although your desktop resolution will 
not change accordingly. 
 "<Ctrl> + <Alt> + <Backspace>"             # Log Out 
 "<Ctrl> + <Alt> + <Del>"                        # Reboot 
 "<Ctrl> + <Alt> + <F1 - F12>                  # Switch Screens 
 "<Alt> + <F1 - F12>                                 # Various 
windows key bindings. 
 "<Alt> + <Tab>                                        # Switch 
Windows

They start with Ctrl+Alt or Alt. 
So, should not conflict with Ctrl+F5 or Ctrl+F8 
I checked if I could detect any binding for Ctrl+F5, but there is 
none.
Comment 3 johnzoet 2004-11-03 08:40:10 UTC 
Solved this problem. 
In KDE Ctrl-F5 is linked to virtual desktop 5. 
In general Ctrl-Fx is linked to virtual desktop (x < 13). 
After removing these key bindings I had to restart Netbeans to enter 
the new key binding.
