I don't think this can be quite right. The enable argument might be false and still you would call set focus. I also wonder how this makes sense when the common tab is not visible (is not the active tab) or what the impact of this is while using keyboard navigation to navigate all the launch configurations... |
weird, I remember I added enabled condition and pushed that change.. let me push that again. |
I'll check this |
Handled this to activate only during selections.. 👍 |
Automatically focus the associated file path text field when the Shared file, Input File, or Output File option is selected in the Common tab, allowing users to immediately enter or browse for the corresponding file location without an additional click.

That seems more sensible. I wonder though, how does this affect keyboard users? Maybe in a good way? 😀 |

On Windows the up and down arrow keys change the radio button selection and also cycle to the browse button. With this change, the focus moves to the entry field as soon as you navigate to the second radio button via down arrow whereas previous one could navigate to the browse button which is probably the more likely next thing you want to do... Is there anyone on your team who can test the behavior on Windows? I'm really not 100% sure this is an improvement. Maybe @iloveeclipse or @HeikoKlare have an opinion? |

Set focus to the shared location text field when the "Shared file" option is selected in the launch configuration dialog. This allows users to immediately enter or browse for the shared configuration location without requiring an additional click.
