When adding a new shortcut, the Add Shortcut dialog comes up with no keyboard focus. It is much more convienent if the Add Shortcut dialog came up with focus already set to the text field.
Created attachment 3173 [details] patch to set initial focus to the text field for the add shortcut dialog
Component changed.
reassigned
If this is patched, it would be worth adding a note that this might be fixed in JDK 1.4 beta 3+. I tried beta 2, but it still requires the patch for the focus to work.
Fixed in [main-trunk]. Fix: core/../core/NbPresenter.java [1.49]. Note: The solution is general for all dialogs created via DialogDescriptor (NotifyDescriptor). When added message component is of JComponent type first default request focus is called (so for our case directly to the text field is set), just in case it fails is requested focus for message component directly.
Using the 16-Nov build, I still don't see this for the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog. Is the fix merged? Also, see 17794, the "New" wizard has the same problem.
I have last build and it works. Closing as workforme. For sure if we are talking about the same thing; 1) Go to Tools | Keybard Shortcuts... and invoke it. 2) Select some actions , button Add... enables. 3) Press the button and Add Shortcut dialog appears. 4) The textfield has the focus, caret is there and if you type something you set the sortcut. That's as it shuould be. Please reopen if you have something else in mind.
OK, I do see this fix on Solaris (I'm primarily testing on Solaris 2.6) but only with JDK 1.3.1. With JDK 1.4 beta 3, I see quite unusual focus handling on both Solaris and Linux. Do you think this could be a bug in JDK 1.4 beta 3? The focus handing should be backwardly compatable, right? If so, I don't suppose it is easy to point the swing team to this code in netbeans? Feel free to close this if it looks like a JDK bug...
You are right John, it occures now on jdk1.4. But I should first look in if the problem causes our code. Added keyword jdk_1.4.
Closing as later. Note: This issue will be possible to fix when we'll came to jdk1.4 purelly, which is not now. Now we can't take the advantage of the new 1.4 code, dealing with focus policy. There are incompatibilties between jdk1.3 and 1.4 focus dealing and one of it is related to this issue. i.e. default focus traversability. See: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/java/awt/doc-files/FocusSpec.html#Incompatibilities
added A11Y keyword

It seems fix for #17794 solves also this issue.
