As Andreas said, we will be releasing 3.4.x releases with bugfixes and modest 
feature additions. Wether any of those will go into KDevelop4 is a different 
matter.

Cool! I was last bemoaning the lack of this feature just hours ago. :) 

What kept me from just adding it was the realization that we're short on good 
shortcuts and we have several outputviews that would benefit from keyboard 
navigation.

So here's what I propose: 
We pull the F4/shift+F4 shortcuts from the MakeWidget and put them in the 
mainwindow. Then we use Qt's invokeMethod to call slotStepNext() / 
slotStepPrevious() on the currently active outputview and implement these 
slots on all outputviews that we feel need stepping.

How does that sound? I think that would give us what we want with minimal 
effort and would function in an intuitive way.
