Description
expected
scenario 01
- I used Right-Alt/F7 to invoke the "Find Usages" pop-up
- Expected to see the "Find Usages" pop-up
scenario 02
- Opened the Options panel / KeyMap tab
- Put cursor in "Search in Shortcuts" field
- Pressed Right-Alt
- Expected to see All the actions matching the ALT key
- Pressed Right-Alt/Shift
- Expected to see All the actions matching the ALT-Shift key combinations
- Pressed Right-Alt/Control
- Expected to see All the actions matching the ALT-Control key combinations
- Pressed Right-Alt/Control/Shift
- Expected to see All the actions matching the ALT-Control-Shift key combinations
- Pressed Right-Alt/F7
- Expected to see "Find Usages" Action
- Pressed Left-Alt/F7
- Expected to see "Find Usages" Action
This screen shot shows the Netbeans 8.2 KeyMap
actual
scenario 01
- Pressed Right-Alt/F7 ... "Find Usages" pop-up NOT shown
- Pressed Left-Alt/F7 --> "Find Usages" pop-up displayed correctly
scenario 02
Key-presses in the order shown, left-to-right.
- Pressed Right-Alt --> nothing
- Pressed Right-Alt/Shift --> nothing
- Pressed Right-Alt/Control --> nothing
- Pressed Right-Alt/Control/Shift --> nothing
- Pressed Right-Alt/F7 --> nothing
- Expected to see "Find Usages" Action --> nothing
- Pressed Left-Alt/F7 - "Find Usages" Action dialogue popped-up
Curiously, these key-combinations are each different to the others. Key-press in the sequence as shown, left-to-right.:
- "CTRL+Alt+Shift+" <--
- Left-Control/Left-Alt/Left-Shift
- Left-Control/Left-Alt/Right-Shift
- "CTRL+" <--
- Left-Control/Right-Alt/Left-Shift
- Left-Control/Right-Alt/Right-Shift
- "CTRL+Shift+" <--
- Left-Control/Left-Shift/Right-Alt
- "CTRL+AltShift+" <--
- Left-Control/Left-Shift/Right-Alt
Impact
- This becomes an accessibility issue.
- I have an injury at the moment that makes being forced to just use the left-ALT key uncomfortable
- Long-term there may also be degenerative physical effects. Especial for people with conditions affected by this limitation.
- It looks like EVERY Right-Alt key combination will NOT work.
