Description David-john Burrowes 2002-12-19 18:03:12 UTC 
[I am not sure this issue belongs to this module.
 But, I'm not sure where a better place might be]

The contextual menu in the java source editor
tells me that "Show Javadoc" should be able to be
invoked with Alt-F1.  However, when I press Alt-F1
nothing happens.

[This might be a keyboard conflict with something
in my Linux windowing system (gnome), but I can't
tell for sure. I'm using the build from the 17th
of December 2002]
Comment 1 David-john Burrowes 2002-12-19 18:04:24 UTC 
I just realized there is a javadoc component, so I'm moving this to there.
Comment 2 Tomas Hurka 2003-02-04 18:05:48 UTC 
This seems to be working fine for me. Please try to find out if it is keyboard conflict with your gnome windowmanager. Thanks.
Comment 3 Svata Dedic 2003-02-05 11:10:33 UTC 
Show Javadoc action (Alt-F1) is implemented in Editor module, AFAIK.
Comment 4 Martin Roskanin 2003-02-05 12:38:58 UTC 
It works for me. After pressing alt+F1 either javadoc should appear or
"cannot find javadoc" message in editor status bar should appear. If
there is no such response, please try to look at the java editor
keybindings whether the action goto-help is binded to alt+F1. If you
get the message in editor status bar and the javadoc is properly
mounted, please reopen the bug.
