Moving from Eclipse Oxygen (4.7), to Eclipse Photon (4.8) introduced a strange issue with wrong keyboard layout, only for the shortcut.
I mean, for instance:
in any editor, typing A key is producing a 'A' letter, which is OK
but using CTRL+A, to select all, is NOT working, because it is regarded as a CTRL+Q (i.e. keyboard layout regarded as Qwerty instead of Azerty here)
After analysis, I found various related bug report on Eclipse' Bugzilla:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=531378
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=533395
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=61190
But, I still don't have any working workaround to use Eclipse Photon with the good keyboard layout for shortcuts (despite having removed ALL keyboard layouts, but the one wanted, on my OS => which is GNU/Linux Fedora 26, with Gnome Shell).
Acting, the bug fix is NOT embedded in the 2018-09 release, I moved back to my previous Eclipse Oxygen release, where the bug does not exist.
Do you know any way to have this bug fixed with Eclipse Photon release?
This is a known issue of Eclipse Photon (4.8) (see this comment for a workaround). It has been fixed in the follow-up release Eclipse 2018-09 (4.9), on September 19, 2018.
Upgrade Eclipse to get the fix (e.g. by enabling major upgrades).

I am getting strange tabs-names characters in Eclipse IDE.
(Operating system - Win10x64. Software - Eclipse x64 for java developers)
Buggy tabs:
Correct in the pop-up window:
What may be the problem?
This is suggested by greg-449.
The issue is described here.
I have set every font (I don't know witch is required) as consolas and it worked for me.
I have recently installed eclipse CDT on Linux.
Version: Oxygen.2 Release (4.7.2)
Build id: 20171218-0600
All the bindings like
Ctrl + D
Ctrl + Space
work fine after any project creation but when I restart eclipse they stop responding. I tried solution posted at this page answered by howlger which didn't work for me and upon some Googling I found a work around at eclipse bugs which resolved the issue by just disabling the welcome page.
But I would like to know the exact problem here, whether it is a focused view issue or something else. By the way, I would actually like to have the welcome screen during the launch.
This issue is fixed in latest installer.
I've found this question: Eclipse - How to pin editor tabs? and I've installed "Extended VS Presentation plugin for Eclipse", but it's not working.
How it should look (from http://andrei.gmxhome.de/skins/index.html):
How it actually looks on my Eclipse 4.4 (on Ubuntu):
As you can see, "Current presentation" setting is missing.
When I've installed this plugin (via eclipse), it was in "Eclipse 3.6 - 3.8 plugins", so maybe it's incompatible with 4.4 Luna? However, it was possible to install it, so it should work, right?
Also, if you know any plugin that would allow pinning tabs in eclipse, feel free to post your answer and describe it.
Support eclipse versions for this plugins:
Eclipse Versions:
Juno (4.2, 3.8), Previous to Juno (<=4.1)
This plugin NOT works(See this) in eclipse 3.x on Linux.(But here author says it support Linux platform. Contact author for more details)
This plugin NOT works in eclipse 4.x on any platform.
Please note, that the skin, tab actions and lists are available for Eclipse 3.x only! Eclipse 4.x is not supported.
That first Appearance dialog is how it looks in Eclipse 3.x. The appearance code was completely rewritten for Eclipse 4.x.
The fact the plugin installs may just mean the install is not careful enough about specifying the versions of Eclipse it supports.
You should try and contact the plugin author to see if it supports Eclipse Luna.
In my point of view, everything is fine.
As you can see in the images below, (Check bottom (console) ).
The above page is updated on 06-25-2014
But the screenshot in that page is taken on 06-02-2008 , (Check bottom (console) ).
The screenshot given in that page is a screenshot of very very old version. The plugin is updated, but the screenshot in the page is not yet updated.
The new plugin will work as shown in the image in the question
Alternative
In Eclipse 4.4.0 there You'll find a pin symbol in the default toolbar of Eclipse on the right side. After clicking it, the Java Editor Tab symbol gets changed indicating this editor is pinned now. Unfortunatelly I could not find a corresponding entry in the popup menu. But it is easy to assign e.g. the keys Ctrl-P to "Pin Editor" in the key bindings of Eclipse. (Don't forget to unbind Ctr-P = Print).
In Eclipse Neon 4.6.0 Pin is not functioning.
I routinely download the latest 'Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers' and add Aptana Studio to it. I recently did this with Juno 4.2.2 and Aptana Studio 3.4.0. Now, I find that in the html or css editors, the cmd-f key still brings up the find/replace bar once. But when I ESCape out of that find bar, the cmd-f command no longer works until I switch to another editor window and then return to the first one. Then, cmd-f works, but again only one more time. The 'Edit-->Find/Replace menu item works consistently', so I think it has something to do with key bindings.
I also tried downloading the standalone Aptana Studio 3.4.0 and it doesn't have this issue.
Never had this problem before. Any ideas?
Me too. Its super annoying since I use Aptana all day.
Workaround: You can work around it by disabling the Aptana Find Bar in Preferences and restart Eclipse (this means you have to use the default Eclipse search dialog). Just move it out of the way while you're searching. If you disable it and go back to the old Eclipse search, you also get the ability to use the keyboard shortcuts for the items under the "Commands" menu.
Here's an aptana ticket for this bug: https://jira.appcelerator.org/browse/APSTUD-7850
I am using Aptana 3 which is basically a modified version of eclipse, so i think this question is applicable to both
Before I commit code in I like to review my changes via the text compare. It allows me to double check things I have changed.
However although text has been highlighted for changes made it does not keep the php syntax highlights. Is there anyway I can keep the PHP or whatever syntax highlighting when viewing differences?
See screenshot.
This is something that a plugin author must implement, and, it seems that it's still not implemented for Aptana's PHP editor, so, the proper thing to have that would be reporting this as a bug to be fixed in a future Aptana Studio 3 version.
This is a feature of the Eclipse editor. Perhaps you can try opening the file in another editor. Right click on the file and go to open with and choose different PHP Editor.
I am not a PHP programmer but perhaps you can check these links to see if you can find and alternate plugin with the features you want.

First of all, Aptana is not "a modified version of Eclipse". Aptana is based on the Eclipse Platform. I am using the Aptana Studio 3 plugin for Eclipse (3.7.1; because of PyDev and features like "Local Filesystem"). ISTM that this is a problem with the Aptana PHP Editor, which the Eclipse PDT editor takes preference over in Eclipse (that might be due to the fact that I had installed the PDT plugin first).
You can try to work around this if you install PDT in Aptana Studio 3 (if necessary and possible), and define the PDT editor as default for PHP files (in Eclipse, and perhaps Aptana as well, it is under Window → Preferences → General → Editors → File Associations). You can also report this as an Aptana bug. Or use Eclipse with the Aptana Studio 3 plugin in the first place; IMHO, most Aptana editors, including the Aptana PHP editor, are not much of an improvement over the "built-in" Eclipse editors.
The issue has been repotorted on aptana bug tracker (by me) and apparently it is going to be fixed with 3.1
the bug tracking number is APSTUD-3922 for anyone who is interested
