Description hadjian 2007-06-23 18:52:45 UTC
Version:           3.4.0 (using KDE 3.5.6, Kubuntu (feisty) 4:3.5.6-0ubuntu14)
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.20-16-generic

Hi,

the ALT-up shortcut simply doesn't work on my machine.
I also reassigned it to other shortcuts like Ctrl-up,
Ctrl-Y and other ALT-<some key> shortcuts, but it 
never works. Don't know if this is related to Ubuntu
Feisty, but I haven't found an appropriate bug report
there either. Did anyone else have this problem?


Regards,

Pedram

I think it has something to do with this change from KDevelop 3.3.x to 3.4.x: No more MDI interface modes, the only mode available is "simpleIDEAl"

For more information please see this bug report too: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=415366

Please make this work again for the new simpleIDEAl mode. It would be even better if it would be possible to assign the shortcuts Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab for this functionality.

SVN commit 715142 by apaku:

A basic version of GotoFirst/LastWindow, it doesn't work with dockwindows as those don't provide a "first" or "last" tab information.

SVN commit 722620 by apaku:

Seems I misunderstood the purpose of GotoFirst/GotoLast, this needs a navigation history hook.

Well, then it's not fixed.

I'm guessing this is the same issue: 
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149304

It is a real must for those of us who don't use the mouse much

IIRC there's a patch floating around on the kdevelop-devel list which does something similar, I'm not sure though. I've got this on my todo-list, but its below all the KDevelop4 stuff, so it might take some time until I get to it.

But thanks for pointing out the duplicate.

This won't be fixed in kdev3, can you remind me again what exactly that shortcut did? (don't have kdev3 around atm)
Comment 9 Tranquillity 2009-02-05 18:26:16 UTC
Hello Andreas,

you know Alt+Tab to cycle through all running applications?

Alt+Tab has the nice property that it manages the open windows in a stack like fashion ordered by the most recently accessed windows. In the simplest case when pressing Alt+Tab once at a time this means toggling between the both most recently used applications.

The trick is to put the selected window on top of that stack in the moment when the Alt key is released.

OK, thats the function of Alt+Tab. "Last Accessed Window" was the same for all open documents in KDevelop. Windows users often know the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Tab for this functionality in MDI applications, so it would be great if one could assign that instead of the default.

By the way: The reverse function "First Accessed Window" correspondingly uses the stack of open documents from the bottom. The common shortcut for that is Ctrl+Shift+Tab (like Alt+Shift+Tab for applications).

To be precise, you could even change the direction of browsing through the stack on the fly by keeping Alt pressed and additionally pressing or releasing Shift.

I hope my description is not too confusing. ;-)

Best regards
Tranquillity

Thanks a lot, I mainly asked to make sure I've got the right idea about the semantics :) In fact I planned to do that some evening next week for KDevelop4 as it should be rather easy.

this has been fixed already in kdev4
