Hello Consulting the list before writing a feature request to bugreports:
Currently I happen to do a lot of tentative building of fairly complex generic C++ code that I kinda write in collaboration with the compiler ;-). This means that very often I start a build that produces > 1K errors in a few seconds and I rather prefer to stop it and fix some of these first errors before continuing. Since I use almost exclusively the keyboard, I hit Ctrl+B to start a build. Then, when I want to stop it, I have to hit Alt+B (that opens ... the Build menu -- inefficient), make sure that "Cancel Build" item is highlighted and hit Enter. This is 1) slow, 2) inelegant 3) feeling half-baked, 4) slow ;o) Would it be considered a useful improvement to have Ctrl+B mean "start build" and, in the obvious situation when a build is in progress, mean "stop build"? For this second occurrence, a small modal popup dialog should be displayed, asking for confirmation (perhaps with the "Cancel stopping build" button preselected ;-). Thus, without looking up from my build log (which is down at the bottom of the screen), I could hit "Ctrl+B/Alt+O" (in which Alt+O is contextual) to stop a build. (NOTE: I know about being able to associate a keyboard shortcut to the "Cancel Build" action with the Environment>Keyboard tool, but it's not the same thing: it becomes difficult to find meaningful (easy to remember) key combinations and the probability of inadvertent kerfuffle with combinations like Ctrl+B, Ctrl+C is ... not inconsiderable). So?
