Description tbrunhoff 2011-02-19 00:12:02 UTC

When running gdb and stepping through code, if a step opens another file, the focus sometimes change so that the hot key for the step is no longer active.

I have the following two mappings:
 - F11 mapped to "step into"
 - F7  build main project
When I use F11 to walk through code, it will eventually return from a function/method. If that return goes to another file, the window focus will change so that F11 no longer applies to the debugger, and a build is executed!

There appears to be two problems:
1. Focus may change so that F11 is not interpreted as "step into"
2. The "build main project" has F11 hardwired so that if the focus is right the shortcut configured in options is ignored and F11 is interpreted as a "build" command.

Options export is attached.

reproduced, F11 works as build action when focus is in any of: project output pane or debugger console. To reproduce it you need to click on a particular tab, not inside the output. In the latter case shortcut will not work at all.

Comment 3 tbrunhoff 2011-03-04 19:03:14 UTC

I understand that you have reproduce problem #1. But from your comments, it looks like you are missing the point about problem #2: I have reassigned F11... it is no longer assigned to "build". But it still invokes build! And it still appears in the menu item as the hotkey for "build".

Comment 4 Egor Ushakov 2011-03-04 19:15:51 UTC

No need to worry, I've got that, reassigning to the editor for evaluation:
Even if you change "build main project" shortcut (or even clear it) toolbar
action still shows (F11) in action tooltip. And I believe in some cases F11
still works as Build (if focus is in some unusual places like in custom
components)

The 'F11 always builds' issue seems to be fixed in 7.1 dev.  Lost keybindings issue is still present.

Comment 6 Svata Dedic 2011-10-18 11:11:47 UTC

Correction :)
I've created a sample project and stepped out of a method to a different file. Even after that, F11 worked OK as 'step out' and the actions were marked OK in the menu.

So - seems to work OK; please re-check in 7.1 beta.
