Keybord Shortcuts dont work (Eclipse-Plugin / Dita Framework)

[Stevee]

Hello,
when editing Dita Content and try to use some Actions, some Keyboard-Shortcuts seem not to work.

These applies to (at least) the following Actions:
Make your Text bold (CTRL+B)
Italicize your Text (CTRL+I)
Underline your Text (CTRL+U)
Insert a new Paragraph in the Document (CTRL+SHIFT+P
Insert an ordered List (CTRL+SHIFT+7)
Insert an unordered List (CTRL+SHIFT+8)

Steps to reproduce:
Create (or Open) some Dita Content e.g a Topic, that contains e.g some Text.
Try to use the above mentioned actions by using the Key-Shortcuts.

Additional Information:
I am using the Eclipse Plugin of oxygenXMLAuthor, v25.0, build: 2022110706
using the actions via menu / toolbar icon, they work properly.
The associated Framework with the document is DITA

Greets Stevee.

Hi Stevee,

Can you also tell us the Eclipse version you are using?
And one more thing, if you go to the Eclipse "Preferences"->Oxygen XML Author->Editor->Edit modes->Author and uncheck the "Show floating contextual toolbar" checkbox, then save the settings and restart Eclipse, do the shortcuts start working?

Regards,
Radu

Hi Radu,
i unchecked this option in Preferences and restartet Eclipse.
I verifyed that the option was still unchecked and tried again, but the Key-Shortcuts sill won't work.

I am using Eclipse 2022-09 (4.25).

Hi Steeve,

Thanks for the details and for testing this on your side.
I added an internal issue to look more into this:
EXM-51943 Shortcuts do not work for Author actions in Eclipse plugin
If we manage to make this work in a future Oxygen version we'll update this forum thread.
In the Eclipse Preferences->"Keys" page you can search for these actions and try to re-assign shortcuts to them, see if this might force bind the actions to the shortcuts.

Regards,
Radu

Hi,
As an update, we released Oxygen 25.1 which should have a fix for this problem.
