CCS/LAUNCHXL-CC1310: Ctrl+S binding for Save doesn't work (CCS 7.0.0.00043 for Linux)

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-CC1310

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

A lot of the time CCS seems to forget that Ctrl+s = Save.

See Image 1, Image 2 - aside from Ctrl+s not working, note that the label is also missing from the menu entry. Other bindings appear to be unaffected.

I haven't changed any key bindings, and trying to add some for ctrl+s appears to have no effect although I haven't tried every possibility yet.


Furthermore, after changing perspectives, CCS won't respond to hotkeys until I click on it - eg I can't F11, F8 to debug/resume - instead I have to F11, click, F8 because after the perspective change on F11 it ignores keypresses until clicked.

As a programmer with a small amount of GUI experience, it seems like CCS relies on hotkey events bubbling up from UI elements within the window, but doesn't listen to hotkey events sent to the window itself. I've no idea about the ctrl+s binding though.

  • That is an interesting issue. I can't say I've seen it myself on my Linux (Ubuntu 16) environment. What flavor of Linux are you running?

    Thanks

  • I'm running on Gentoo linux with KDE4 DE. The install is moderately old, so recent ubuntu has probably caught up with my versions of various things.

    CCS installed happily and, for the most part, seems to work well enough.

    Since CCS provides its own JRE (and, seemingly, it's own almost everything in a curious departure from standard linux practice) I'm not sure how my linux flavour could be affecting things in these curiously specific ways.

    Any suggestions for debugging steps are appreciated :)
