Description Miloslav Metelka 2009-09-09 19:02:09 UTC 
When I try to e.g. &Debug->Appl&y code changes with Alt-D and Alt-Y in a form class's code I end up switching to design
mode due to accelerator conflict.
Comment 1 Michel Graciano 2009-09-09 20:12:51 UTC 
Which should be the correct accelerator for Design? Maybe Desi&gn? I think we had an UI spec somewhere. :-D
We can address it by NetFIX imho.
Comment 2 Tomas Pavek 2009-09-10 11:09:37 UTC 
I'd say the buttons in multiview should have no accelerator. When in Design, switch to Source via Alt+S does not work 
anyway.

There are shortucts CTRL+ALT+PAGE UP/PAGE DOWN for switching between the multiview tabs.

It works on my machine.

> I'd say the buttons in multiview should have no accelerator. 

If we agree on this then this issue should be fixed in core/multiview. It cannot be fixed in form by removal of the 
ampersand from the display name. Such removal would remove also the mnemonic from View > Editors menu which would 
violate honorable Main menu specification, see http://wiki.netbeans.org/MainMenu resp. 
http://wiki.netbeans.org/MainMenuView

> There are shortucts CTRL+ALT+PAGE UP/PAGE DOWN for switching between the multiview tabs.

How can user find this out? I am not able to find it anywhere in UI.
Comment 4 Michel Graciano 2009-09-10 14:06:17 UTC 
The shortcuts are shown at 6.7.1 but not for daily builds...
Comment 5 Jan Stola 2009-09-10 17:29:26 UTC 
It seems that there is an agreement on removal of accelarators from multiview. Reassigning to window system for 
evaluation: Could you, please, remove accelerators from multiview and use the letter prefixed by ampersand as mnemonic 
in View menu only? It also would be nice to advertize Ctrl+Alt+PgUp/PgDown accelerators somewhere (in a tooltip?).
