I want a button (or two) to comment/uncomment Python code in Eclipse. I am using Eclipse Oxygen.
I searched through the site and found this question which is exactly the same as mine but several years old:
Add shortcut button to comment out code in Eclipse
I thought about asking again since we are in 2018 and I still have not found an answer different to using key combinations which I tend to forget. I also don´t know if that would work for other programming languages.
Try that, it should work: CTRL + /

Edit: I am a dumbass who repeatedly went into CA for JavaScript instead of Java. This is what happens when you blindly use the search box, folks.
I know this question has been asked and answered here before, but there's a problem. The solution just isn't there anymore.
I have the exact same problem as this good fella. I saw the answers, they say it's been patched in the 2018-12 release, which I assume is about 18 months old (I've only recently started using eclipse). I'm on the 2020-03 release and, as I said, the Disable insertion triggers except 'Enter' just isn't there anymore. See below:
Eclipse Preferences->Editor->Content Assist Window in 2020-03 release:
I tried looking for it elsewhere in Preferences but I can't find it. When I try to google it all that comes is this same solution, and nothing useful comes up if I filter the searches for time. Does someone know where this option went or if there is another way I can fix this? It's driving me nuts.
Your screenshot shows the JavaScript, not the Java content assist preference page where this setting has never existed:
Window (macOS: Eclipse) > Prefences: JavaScript > Editor > Content Assist
The Java content assist setting described in the mentioned answer can still be found at the same place:
Window (macOS: Eclipse) > Prefences: Java > Editor > Content Assist
I installed a plugin that allowed me to create UML diagram from my code. Everything was working fine until I found that now all keyboard shortcuts (like CTRL-X, CTRL-Z, CTRL-SPACE, CTRL-SHIFT-F,..) except for CTRL-C and CTRL-V now require a click on a small square that appear on the bottom right corner. And this is required every single time.
This are few examples of the square that appears:
If I click on the message or press Enter I can access the functionality. Does anyone know how to get rid of this annoying thing or at least reset Eclipse related configurations?
Thanks in advance
EDIT:
I obviously tried uninstalling the plugin but nothing changed.
Try Window / Reset Perspective as the duplicate shortcuts may be still in the perspective.
Also try restart specifying -clean option to rebuild the workspace metadata.
The pop-ups you are seeing are the "keybinding conflict" popups. These are common when you have two different plugins defining the same keybinding and looks like these. Still in your case there's only one option to choose from and it definitely looks like a bug.
In the Eclipse bugtracker database there are two issues that are looking like the one you have: #377048 and #374942.
These issues are marked as fixed in 4.2-I20120410-0633. So if you are having Eclipse 4.2 without any service releases installed, you would probably have this. The solution is - to use a newer Eclipse version. Eclipse 4.3.1 is available to download since today, and it should contain a lot of other fixes since 4.2. So I encourage you to install it.
The other solution could be to try playing with keybinding dialog (Window->Preferences->General->Keys) and trying to unbind and re-bind the commands that you are having issues with.
is there any way, to enable a dropdown list of methods or functions, on the Editor Toolbars of NetBeans 7, like VS does? , i mean the toolbar that is inside on the tab of each file when you are editing a code, that has some options like, "last edit, next breakpoint, next bookmark, ..."
In VS is really helpful this feature, to jump of functions o methods more quickly, i know that netbeans has the navigator, but sometimes this help more

There is no way provided by standard NetBeans IDE offering or certified plugins available in NetBeans Update center, but a NetBeans plugin can be written for doing what is expected in your question. Has it been done? In my opinion no, as no one asked till now. Now that you have asked someone may think of developing such a plugin.
Best way to expedite such request and feature to be added to NetBeans is to add a Request for Enhancement in the NetBeans issue tracker.

There are many ways to reach specific methods in NetBeans IDE. You have already listed one and that is Navigator. Others include GoTo Type [CTRL+O] and GoTo Symbol [CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+O]
I used Eclipse for several years and now I'm trying to switch to Netbeans.
Amazingally, I have had very nice experience while switching :)
One thing I wonder about - is there any eclipse-like "Problems" tabs available in the Netbeans.
Please see "Problems" tabs image if you have no idea that this is all about.
I think you want to use the Tasks items of the Window menu...
The reason I asked this question was - I did my research first and could not dig any information on topic.
And 5 minutes after this post.. vuala, it's all here link text.
That a shame :)
I'm a recent semi-convert to Eclipse after 20 years of using vi and gvim. One of the things I miss about gvim is that I could cut a bunch of different snippets of code into named buffers, and paste them at will when doing something like repeating a common idiom. For instance I'd have it so "ap would paste
DatabaseHandle handle = null;
try
{
handle = DatabaseConnectionPool.newHandle();
and then "bp would paste
handle.commit();
}
finally
{
handle.rollback();
DatabaseConnectionPool.returnHandle(handle);
}
And I could repeat both of them over and over in the course of a day. In an answer to another question, somebody mentioned that you could "manage code snippets" in Eclipse, but didn't mention how. So now I'm asking: how do you manage code snippets in Eclipse?
You might want to store those two snippets into a code template, as explained in this tutorial.
And do not forget about the possibility to quickly execute any kind of java code snippets in a scrapbook (not exactly what you want, but it can come in handy at times)
Newtopian adds (in the comments)
In fact templates become much more powerful by adding variables and tabstops within, so your example above would become dbHandle ctrl+space. It would copy snippets from both parts and place your cursor right in the middle.
Eclipse also offers something very similar to the templates feature described by VonC called (would you believe) snippets. Window > Show view > Snippets.
To add a new snippet category: Right click in the Snippets window and click Customize...
Click New > New Category. Enter a category name if necessary (e.g. "Java"). Click Apply.
With your chosen category selected, click New > New Item. Enter your snippet.
To use a snippet, put the cursor where you want to insert the snippet, then double click on a snippet in the Snippets window.
I ran into the Snip2Code plugin recently.
It did the job, and I can collect and search snippets in a quick way.
Well a picture worths a thousand words, what about this one?
The question is old but the link of the answere is older ;)
Here is a nice tutorial:
http://www.dansshorts.com/post/creating-snippets-in-eclipse
I have used snippets in some IDEs, like Dreamweaver and Homesite, an old Coldfusion IDE. I also use a lot of snippets in MySQL Workbench - where i type a lot of SQL, very handy there.
I am now using Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers Version Indigo Release and found the snippets panel in Window|Show View|Other...|General|Snippets. I was able to manipulate it and figure out how to add the code I wanted as snippets and how to use it efficiently.
Use Eclipse Snipmatch (Part of Eclipse for Java Developers Package).
Works very well for Java code snippets but also works for any other language like HTML, ABABP, PHP etc.
You can convert any code fragment from your editor directly to a code template. Highlight the code you'd like to convert to a snippet, context menu "create snippet", complete the form and done.
snippets can be shared via Git repositories with your team members
