calls count right on the CPU statistics screen AND shortcut

Post by kuzmeech »

Dear Authors,

First of all, thanks for the great job.

I have two feature-questions:

1. I wonder if it's possible to include "callees count" column right into "CPU Statistics" screen - so it would not be necessary to press Ctrl+M every time these numbers are needed?

2. Minor Usability - there's an alternate wide-used shortcut combination for "close window" used almost everywhere Ctrl+W. Very convenient when using 10-finger typing - not to reach F4 key. Tested to close: Internet Explorer, Opera Browser, MS Word, MS Excel. Once discovered I've got used to it :)

Thanks again,

Sincerely,
Kuzmich

Thanks for bringing this up!

I was just going to post a question on how to do this, but now it appears I'm not insane and there just isn't a way to do this.

YourKit devs, please... for the love of God, make it so I can see invocation counts AND time ON THE SAME SCREEN. The timings mean nothing to me whatsoever without the context of their invocation counts. I would like to buy your product but I simply won't consider it without this feature. It's too fundamental to not have in a performance profiling tool. Thanks,

Marc

p.s. Sorry if I sound harsh, but this feature is very important to me. :)

In normal application Ctrl+W closes document. It does not close application window. If Ctrl+W closes window is a GUI blooper. Profiler does not use "documents" metaphor, so Ctrl+W should not work. Two shortcuts for close window will confuse user. BTW, Alt+F4 isn't more difficult than Ctrl+W.

The document in YourKit is - a snapshot which we can open many.
I also missed the feature where I can rearrange tab labels for opened snapshots.

Ctrl+W is a Windows standard, as soon as it doesn't carry any action (and I think it shouldn't carry any other action, because that what actually confuse experienced Windows user for sure)

OK. I agree that Ctrl+W could close snapshot. But it will never close application's window.
