VSCode often suggests symbols as you type e.g. a variable or field name. When the correct variable name is suggested, usually I can press return to paste the suggestion.
This used to work all the time, now it only works often. And it's driving my crazy. Now, sometimes, when I press return, it actually enters a return character instead of the selected symbol.
Any ideas how to troubleshoot?
Relevant info:
I'm writing rust, with the popular rust-anayzer extension.
I'm on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
Not sure what I should google for, or where to look for potential problems.
I had this issue before.
One possible reason why VSCode is occasionally inserting a return character instead of the selected symbol is due to conflicts with keyboard shortcuts. It's possible that another application or system function is also using the same keyboard shortcut as the "Enter" key, causing it to be triggered unexpectedly.
I solved it by resetting VSCode settings to their default values.
You can do this by going to the VSCode "Settings" page (File > Preferences > Settings) and clicking the "Open Settings (JSON)" button at the top right. Then, delete all the contents of the JSON file and save it. This will reset all your VSCode settings to their default values.
Strange problem appears on one of my machines.
Hit Ctrl+Tab, just hit and immediate release of Ctrl - should switch to the last used editor window. Should.
But instead I have a drop down with list of editors and have to press Enter to do the actual switch.
Holding Ctrl and hitting Tab several times - acts normal.
The problem I see is on VSCode v1.66.2. Another two machines have the very same version and do not experience that issue. So I am assuming the problem is somewhere in settings but I am at loss which one.
I guess, I had to write the question down to find the answer...
The reason for the problem was in extension. In this case it was "Keyboard Macro Beta". It overrides the default behavior of Ctrl+Tab, for some reason.
Found it by just typing "Ctrl+Tab" in the filter field of Keyboard Shortcuts.
Disable/uninstall the extension and default behavior for the hotkey was restored.
Does jupyterlab ditch the Jupyter notebook editing and execution norms? I can not do the simplest action- that is to toggle into/out of the command mode using escape. Instead the notebook remains in edit mode on the current cell.
Generally I am also at a loss on how to navigate among the various tabs and to/from the Editor pane using keyboard only. An IDE must have strong support for keyboarding or it is the wrong one for me. Hopefully these shortcuts exist but I was unable to find them yet.
I have searched for a solution to my problem but with no avail. The eclipse Find/Replace function found by the hotkey ctrl+F is not working. Note: the function does not work by the hotkey neither by going through Eclipse menu Edit>Find Replace (not working I mean that the FindReplace window does not show at all, the eclipse window loses focus only). I have tried to disable the hotkey to see if it would work, restarted eclipsed, restarted the PC, but nothing seems to solve the problem. It was working just fine but then suddenly out of the blue it just decided not to function anymore. Everything I tried so far has failed. As I use this function often it would be nice to know if someone has another input for trying to solve this bug. I am on a PC with windows 7, intel i7 64-bits.
I had a similar issue after using second monitor at work. At home I was wondering where is my Find/Replace window... it was displayed at the second monitor as I used it last time... Eclipse stores the last location of the dialogs for better UX.
So try to move the Find/Replace window by using your keyboard.

You can also try to reset perspective
Window > Perspective > Reset Perspective...
I had the same issue with Eclipse. My current version is Neon.3 Release (4.6.3).
This periodically happens where the Find/Replace does not work.
Usually UNDO stops working also.
When this happens, Ctrl+F, Ctrl+Z do not work, and Undo Text Change and Find/Replace... are grayed out in the menu.
I tried the above solution Window > Perspective > Reset Perspective...
That fixed it right away!
Thanks
When your Eclipse are full with cache that time this problem occurs.
please try to reset perspective setting and then check it.
Just go to menu bar : Window -> Perspective -> Reset Perspective and it will done.
I have shifted by Dev Env recently to Eclipse Helios on Windows 7. After that the Ctrl + Space Content Assist feature is not working. I found out that that key option is utilized by Language Settings. I have tried disabling it. But it still doesn't work in Eclipse.
Any help is much appreciated.
Configure Eclipse’s content assist, go “Preferences>Java>Editor>Content Assist>Advanced“. Make sure “Other Java Proposals” is ticked.

In my case nothing happens after pressing Ctrl+Space. Right now I have set a different short cut for the same and solved
Check your "Keys" preferences: maybe the Content Assist" shortcut has been overridden by another command which would also use Ctrl+Space.
That could happen with the installation of a new plugin, coming with its own set of commands and shortcuts: the bug 303894 for the XText plugin is a good example.
You probably have another application (in systray) that uses Ctrl+Space for something else. In my case I have a small utility which when I press Ctrl+Space makes the active window on top.
The solution for you would be to (1) exit that application which overrides the keys or (2) in Eclipse change Ctrl+Space to some other set of keys.
This was solution for me to get rid of windows key shortcuts:
Go to Start > Type in regedit and start it
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Input Method/Hot Keys
Select the key named: 00000070 for the Chinese (Traditional) IME -
Ime/NonIme Toggle hotkey 00000010 for the Chinese (Simplified) IME -
Ime/NonIme Toggle hotkey
In the right sub-window, there are three subkeys. Key Modifiers
designate Alt/Ctrl/Shift/etc and is set to Ctrl (02c00000). Virtual
Key designates the finishing key and is set to Space (20000000).
Change the first byte in Key Modifiers from 02 to 00
Change the first byte in Virtual Key from 20 to FF
Log off and log back on. I don't think it's necessary to restart.
Do not change the Hot keys for input languages in Control Panel,
unless you want to do this all over again.

I have seen a similar problem in Eclipse Juno (version 4.2.0).
Since you have already tried Eclipse/Java code completion not working, I would check to see if there are any key conflicts. Go to Window -> Preference -> General -> Keys. In the filter box, replace the light gray "type filter text" with the word "Content"; the first item should be "Content Assist." Select it. It should have nothing in the Conflicts box in the lower right-hand portion of the screen.
If you have no conflicts, then it is likely that there is another program, outside of Eclipse, that is binding to Ctrl + Space.
I worked around this with an ugly solution. I copied the Content Assist. In the Binding field, I entered held down the Ctrl + Alt keys and pressed space. This restored the Content Assist function, but it required a brain remap when I am using one machine.
!Screenshot of Eclipse Juno, I had the same problem, then I changed it to different key combination, then it works.1
This is what solved my problem.
Goto Control Panel -> Clock, Language and Region -> Change keyboards or other input methods -> Change keyboards... -> Advanced Key Settings. For some reason I had ctrl + space set as Key sequence for language hot keys. I changed them to something else and rebooted.
Make sure to reboot because it did not work for me without the reboot.
On my Ubuntu, Xfce, ctrl space was allocated to switch language on the iBus preferences (if you have this running, you will see the 'i' icon on the task bar, right click and choose preferences). To change this, bring up the IBus Preferences, on the General tab, see the "Enable or disable:" option, click the ellipses and provide a different keyboard assignment.
This sorted me out without need to restart Eclipse.
I use eclipse indigo and had this problem. Creating a new workspace did not worked.
Go to Windows->preference->General->Keys->"Restore Default" - This fixed my issue
Note that I just had English(US) on windows 7 [Control Panel-> Clock,Language and Region ->Change keyboard or other input methods-> Keyboards and Languages->change Keyboards...->General ==>Default language is English and Installed Services I just had English(US) alone
After doing this some you might need to restart the system if it does not fix.
This is how I fixed my problem on Ubuntu 12.04 regardless of the eclipse version. My problem was that the ibus was overriding the shortcut so I deleted this shortcut configuration.
Type ibus in the dash:
Then select Keyboard Input Methods. From there click on the first three dots next to the Enable or disable textfield. This windows should appear:
If there is something bound to Ctrl + Space simply delete it.
#Polac - Thx. That's what fixed it for me. I'd hit ctrl+space and I'd get a popup for chinese character selection. I have Windows 7 so for me it was:
Control Panel -> Region and Language -> Keyboards and Languages tab -> Change keyboards... button -> Advanced Key Settings tab
Be warned, its stubborn. I tried to just clear them, but as soon as I applied the settings they reset back to using the original key bindings. If I change the key binding to something obscure they still reset sometimes. It's annoying. Maybe its just my OS installation that's goofed, but it could be a Microsoft bug.
Didn't need Chinese on my system, so I removed it as an installed language in the first tab and that finally got rid of the hardcoded Chinese key bindings.
In Eclipse you can use the Alt-/ character sequense instead of Control-Space. This is an old problem which Eclipse and Chinese keyboards, which they addressed by adding this short cut.
I found the answer.
Windows / UV Elements - was OFF! I don't know how but they were off. And when you click Ctrl+Space he working, but your all elements are off and you think that it is not working. You must on all UV elements and after your Ctrl + Space will be work.
