Description Peter Lam 2008-08-27 18:49:40 UTC 
Alt-Shift-A and Alt-Shift-M are used to add attribute and operation respectively, if the class or interface element is
selected. However, if an attribute is selected (Attributes comparment is in focus), Alt-Shift-M to add operation does
not work. The same is for Alt-Shift-A if an operation is selected (Operations comparment is in focus).

Both shorcuts Alt-Shift-A and Alt-Shift-M should work regardless of which compartment is in focus.
Comment 1 Peter Lam 2008-09-08 23:24:06 UTC 
workaround: reselect the element using Tab traversal.
Comment 2 Thuy.d Nguyen 2008-09-13 00:54:30 UTC 
If an attribute is selected (i.e. the attribute compartment is in focus),  I think, logically, it makes sense not to
allow users creating an operation using ALT-Shift-M. It's a context-sensitive action. It's like when you select an
attribute, you see only "Create Attribute" menu item on its popup menu.   

The same argument for Operation, i.e. when an operation is selected, creating an attribute using the short cut should
not occur.

Let me know what think.

As per the off line discussion with Trey and Peter, we all agree to fix this issue.
