Description Michel Graciano 2010-03-26 20:55:57 UTC 
[ BUILD # : c0c8da2a52b0 ]
[ JDK VERSION : 1.6.* ]

Close terminal shortcut Alt+E clashes with Edit mnemonic.
Comment 1 Michel Graciano 2010-03-26 20:57:59 UTC 
In the truth it is about Clear shortcut
Comment 2 Peter Pis 2010-03-29 09:00:42 UTC 
Ctrl + L is for clearing the output. Could you please provide more details? What exactly do you mean?
Comment 3 Peter Pis 2010-04-07 13:57:38 UTC 
Any update on this?
Comment 4 Michel Graciano 2010-04-07 14:06:23 UTC 
Hi Peter, sorry for delay, I just lost your last message.
Well, I mean is it:
1. Window > Output > Terminal (Experimental)
2. Click at 'Create a new local terminal tab'
3. Mouse right click on this terminal and you can see 'Clear Alt-E' action.
4. Try to hit this shortcut and the character 'e' is typed instead clear or even open &Edit menu.

When I filed it, hitting the shortcut, the menu Edit was opened.
Tested using Build 100407-abf8e4eac4aa.
Comment 5 ivan 2010-05-08 04:57:35 UTC 
The fact that upon hitting Alt-e 'e' is echoed is a somewhat
orthogonal problem to that of appropriate keystroke assignments
and is now addressed by bug #185756.

But what _is_ the appropriate keystroke assignment?
Ctrl-l (or Ctrl-anything per existing NB IO won't do
because it might clash with keystrokes interpreted 
by the shell or application running in the terminal
(vi, emacs, readline)

Below is a table of keystroke assignments used by 
gnome-terminal and konsole. Neither have a short-cur
for Reset/Clear so I propose we don't either.

                        gnome-console           konsole
        -----------------------------------------------
        Copy            Shift+Ctrl+C            "
        Paste           Shift+Ctrl+V            "
        CloseTab        Shift+Ctrl+W            "
        NextTab         Shift+PageDown          N/A
        PreviousTab     Shift+PageUp            N/A
        Zoom in         Shift+Ctrl+= (Ctrl++)   "
        Zoom out        Ctrl+-                  "

Comment 8 Vladimir Voskresensky 2010-05-09 02:54:18 UTC 
Ctrl-l to "clear" is a behavior of bash, not terminal and it works fine when I have bash run in terminal window inside NetBeans (both locally and remotely)
Comment 9 Egor Ushakov 2012-05-22 16:05:26 UTC 
Alt-e shortcut was removed long ago
