[ BUILD # : 200510261858 ] [ JDK VERSION : 1.5.0 ] 'Ctrl-x l' should perform the same function as 'Alt-g', to bring up the 'Goto Line' dialog.
You've likely meant 'Ctrl-g'. Please note that the present NB emacs profile only contains a selected subset of the real emacs shortcuts so making this an enhancement. Trungu, please evaluate whether we want to add this particular one into 5.0 and change back to defect if so. Thanks.
Ctrl-g is used like Ctrl-C in normal applications to interrupt whatever emacs is doing so that is not what he meant. Emacs goto-line function is normally bound to: M-g g OR M-g M-g (oddly enough I also made a custom binding C-x l for goto-line at some point in my life -- not sure how or where I picked that binding up, but it is not a normal emacs binding for emacs that I am aware of) If NB is capable of these bindings I think it would be a good idea to support as many common keybindings as netbeans can. I have been talking to emacs users about Ruby netbeans support at conferences and you would be surprised how many of those people use Emacs AND are interested Netbeans Ruby support. The better this support the more likely they will have a positive experience in netbeans...Not to mention that Eclipse is beating us in Emacs binding support. I will get off my soapbox now... :)
Should not be a problem to change it to both 'M-G G' and 'M-G M-G'.
OK, I added both of these. --- Fri Feb 22 12:36:30 2008 +0100 changeset 69078 12d21881bcb4
