When working on C code in Eclipse (Mars, in case that matters), I type /* to begin a stream comment. If I hit [Enter] any time within this stream comment, Eclipse automatically inserts a column of single-space indented stars _* and a single-space indented close stream comment _*/. This is incredibly annoying as this is never the behavior I want after opening a stream comment. I then have to undo-undo or highlight and delete.
I've gone into C/C++ > Editor > Typing and unchecked every option in the Automatically close group-box, but these options only include "Strings", (Parentheses) and [Square Brackets], <Angle> brackets and {Braces}.
There's no /*Comments*/ option.
I've even tried modifying every code template that contains such a stream comment, to no avail.
How can I get Eclipse to stop auto-completing comments?
I've checked these similar questions and found no answer:

When Using Pydev on Eclipse, I wanted to bind Ctrl+Shift+D Copy Lines and Ctrl+D to Delete line. But when I do so, the Ctrl+Shift+D doesn't work.
I removed all the other bindings of Ctrl+Shift+D but it doesn't work.
Fun fact, if I choose Ctrl+Shift+C, it does work, so I'm wondering where is this key binding used.
The problem arrises only in Pydev, ie. when I open the file in Text editor the bindings work.
This was fixed for PyDev 6.3.3.
The problem was that there was a command bound to Ctrl+Shift+D which was not visible there because it wasn't properly categorized.
I fixed this in: https://github.com/fabioz/Pydev/commit/422a0bde1d1a3ac5c091c00e88368a3bc3c0dc5f
Note that you could still override it if at the keybindings dialog you created a command and put the 'When' as 'PyDev editor scope' (which defines when it's active -- it wouldn't work without this because the hidden action had a higher priority given that its scope was narrower).
See details at: https://www.brainwy.com/tracker/PyDev/906
You ctrl + F, put in your rather complex regexp search/replace strings, run the queries, keep working on the code, then the next time eclipse needs a restart all that search/replace dialogue history is gone. Google again the internets for the right regexp syntax, etc. Pretty tedious. Is there a way to make eclipse persist those regexp queries form session to session ?
It seems what I am really after is a wayto have more than 10 entries in the search dialog. As the commenters say,Eclipse does persist the search history, just that it is a very short history.
Here is the duplicate that has yet to be addressed properly: Eclipse: How to increase find/replace history?
I am trying to make eclipse keybindings work.
I tried to make the rename command work.
I looked at some tutorials and experimented. I enabled command and key binding trace in console (http://eclipsesource.com/blogs/2009/07/08/tip-tracing-keybindings-in-rcp/).
I have created a custom command:
com.mycompany.myproduct.command.rename
This is what I got so far:
1) I tried to follow this tutorial,http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/EclipseCommandsKeybindings/article.html, but I came to the conclusion that this is for e3. This is because you need to add commands plugin that recognize only old e3 handlers. No xmi is involved
2) I tried to use xmi binding contexts. I had my command registered in the top level commands tree and connected to a handler in the top level handlers tree.
In the binding tables section I have a bindingTable that works in Dialog and Windows context. I added a key binding. The sequence is "F2" and it is connected to my custom command.
When I hit F2 I get the following message in trace:
COMMANDS >>> execute >>> starting: id=org.eclipse.ui.edit.rename; event=ExecutionEvent(Command(org.eclipse.ui.edit.rename,Rename,
Rename the selected item,
Category(org.eclipse.ui.category.file,File,null,true),
org.eclipse.ui.internal.MakeHandlersGo#1285594,
,,true),{},Event {type=1 Tree {} time=1480412218 data=null x=0 y=0 width=0 height=0 detail=0},org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.modeling.ExpressionContext#177fc1a)
In short the default eclipse IDE rename command is fired (my key binding does nothing), and nothing happens on my application.
However, if I change the sequece to "M1+1" and hit ctrl + 1, a little pop up comes up that lets me choose between "quick fix" (eclipse IDE command) and my rename. If I choose rename the handler fires.
Now, how do I disable eclipse IDE default keybindings. The instructions of the tutorial in step 1 definitely don't do it.
Thanks!
You can try to force E4 to read your key binding as an user one, adding the "type:user" tag to the KeyBinding itself :
I swear sometimes it seems like the application just likes to see us suffer. I had the same issue you had; a while ago my key binding was working just fine and today I notice it doesn't work anymore. Thanks for this post I found 2 solutions:
"type:user" from the above comment
remove org.eclipse.ui from the run configurations; it seems this was added when I pressed add required plugins after adding some plugin myself
In eclipse you can hit "enter" and the IDE will automatically take you to the end of the line and place a semicolon.
In IntelliJ, if you hit shift-enter you get similar behavior minus adding the semicolon. I have read and tried cntrl-shift-enter and you get the exact same behavior. However, that is such an awkward key combination to be using all the time, at least much more so than the one-button approach using Eclipse.
Any ideas?
IntelliJ autocomplete escape
In InteiJ IDEA use (Ctrl-Shift-Enter) for "Smart Autocomplete".
It will end the line "smartly" with a semicolon as you wish. It also works in a few different situations like IF statements of FOR loops.
Why don't you redo the key binding?
Go to: (spanner icon) Settings -> Keymap -> Complete Current Statement and rebind how you will (for example, ctrl-enter might suit you better).
Or there's also a default keymap set for Eclipse that you can choose. I'm not sure if it affects the complete-current-line action, but you could take a look.
you can also use ctrl+shift+space
if you want always have it just do this
Every-time you save a Scala Worksheet in the Scala IDE, the output of each expression is printed as comments on the right-hand side of the editor. Is there a way to clear this output from a Scala Worksheet so that you can cut and paste code?
Currently, my solution is to save my worksheet with an error, so that the output would disappear. There must be a better way... a keyboard shortcut or something.
There is no such feature yet. There is a related ticket: The Format action should strip comments.
While waiting for the ticket to be resolved, this regular expression can be used in Find/Replace (Ctrl/Cmd+F) to delete the comments.
*//[>|].*$
Update:
This has been fixed: #132
It's jerry-rigged, but gets the job done.
Make a small edit (e.g. delete a space where it doesn't matter) to prompt a save.
Save.
Press Esc immediately to terminate worksheet process.
You now have a clean worksheet!
Ctrl+Shift+C does the job in Scala IDE 4.7.0
Alt+Shift+A enables Block selection mode. You will be able to select only left part of screen (columns with code). Block mode also makes possible to select only columns with output.
