Bug 6064 Open on selection shouldn't require selection
Reported: 2001-11-19 10:02:52 | Status: resolved fixed

Build 20011116 - move the text insertion point into the middle of a type name in a Java editor - press F3 - it has no effect It would be better if it opened on the current word. (I notice that it currently works for a partial selection, if the selection includes the start of the type name, as if it's doing code-assist or something.) This is an issue for keyboard accessibility. It currently requires you to move the cursor to the start of the word, hit CTRL+SHIFT+RIGHT to select the word, then F3. It would be better if you could just move to the word and hit F3.
