(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: kate Version: 2.0 (using KDE 2.9.0 3 (CVS >= 20020302)) Severity: wishlist Installed from: compiled sources Compiler: gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease) OS: Linux (ppc) release 2.4.16-powerpc OS/Compiler notes: The MDI features of Kate would be _significantly_ enhanced if it had the ability to walk through documents (i.e. push the top document down in the stacking order as many times as tab is pressed while some modifier is held) in addition to "Forward" and "Backward". In fact all MDI applications should have this functionality. (Submitted via bugs.kde.org) (Called from KBugReport dialog)
In MDI mode the loaded documents are displayed in a list on the left. Switching to Next/Previous loaded document should be an available action capable of being bound to a key combo. I would suggest the as yet unused combo of Alt-PgUp and Alt-PgDown. Personally I would prefer Control as the meta key but that is currently mapped to top of view and bottom of view. Making it a mappable action will allow users to change it to whatever they wish. When working in projects involving many files it's a real pain to have to use the mouse to change files... and MDI is really nice to group together associated files. -- Evan Edwards evan@onepaper.com
Current CVS has implemented the commands Alt + (left or right arrow key) to switch between loaded documents. However, re-arranging the list of open documents is not supported to my knowledge, so I'm leaving this wishlist bug open.
But I think it is fixed, as "change the stacking" seems only to mean "show it"
Wrong. Say I have three windows in order: A B C The way it works currently: Alt-right: B C A Alt-right, Alt-right: A B C Alt-right-right: C A B The way I want it to work: Alt-tab: B A C Alt-tab, Alt-tab: B A C Alt-tab-tab: C B A
And for what ? You want to change the current document, not the document order, why would you want to do that ? Btw., if you have time to write here, fix search ;P
k, close it, if somebody wants that, implement it ;)
Please don't close wishlist reports as WONTFIX unless you are actually rejecting the requested feature.
Isn't it a duplicate of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=115623 if we are talking /as the title suggests/ about switching documents.
Yes, it seems like bug #115623 and this are the same thing. Since 115623 has the less confusing discussion, I'll rather mark this one as the duplicate, although it is older. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 115623 ***
