In Eclipse I can only run/debug my project by using one of the menu buttons. Pressing F11 or Ctrl + F11 does nothing. I've mapped Debug Last Launched to all kinds of various keyboard shortcuts to see if another program running in the background was intercepting the key presses and that doesn't seem to be the case. Every other keyboard shortcut seems to work fine such as Ctrl + Shift + T or Ctrl + G.
Any help? The shortcut key works on my other computer and I keep instinctively trying to press it and it's drastically slowing down my work efficiency.
The only solution works for me ;
Open Key mappings (CTRL+SHIFT+L twice)
Find the debugging shorcuts (F5,F6,F7...) and select
then change the When action value from "Debugging" to "In Window"
Go to Window -> Preferences -> General -> Keys
For each key that doesn't work: Set your binding to whatever you want. - I just copy the command then change "When" from "Debugging" to "Editing Java Source".
good luck.
I battled with a new Dell laptop, so in case it saves someone time ....
By default, the F-key priority was set for sound, brightness and music, e.g. F9 brings up Windows search.
--> This is without pressing the Fn key and the desired Fkey as expected.
To toggle the priority, look for Fn + Esc.
That allows F5, F6 etc to work as expected.
You can press Fn + F6 for skipping music tracks
If your computer has a fn lock/toggle that switches between fn and the f1-f12 keys, make sure that you didn't toggle the other mode by accident.
If you use the default key mappings, restoring defaults might work.
Window | Preferences | General | Keys (or Ctrl+Shift+L then L), then hit Restore Defaults and OK.
For custom mappings, I recommend this answer.
Try F11.
It worked for me. Im using Eclipse in ADT.
Please check if another program is trying to hook keyboard messages. Maybe that program prevents the Eclipse to receive some keystrokes including Ctrl + F11.
I had this problem and finally I found out that the problem is about my dictionary application which used Ctrl + F11 to popup. After disabling the hotkey in the dictionary application, Eclipse started to handle Ctrl + F11 correctly!
Edit: My post doesn't directly react the original malfunctioning-F11-behavoir question. But the issue I had seems quite similar and definitely it relates to some other (quite highly voted) answers.
I've bumped into a similar issue too when I upgraded to Eclipse 4.7 Oxygen and needed to install several plugins from a scratch. F* keys didn't work in the debug perspective even though the appropriate key bindings were configured correctly.
Unfortunately, neither reseting perspective nor reseting key bindings (as suggested in some comments here) helped.
The trick that fixed that for me was:
Preferences > Run/Debug > Perspectives > Restore Defaults
That revived the F* keys functionality in my debug perspective. I don't thing this is the universal way how to bring the behaviour back, but among the other "Resets to defaults" this one may be the right one in some cases, so it's worth trying.

When I press Ctrl + Shift + P in VSCode (shortcut for "Command Palette") nothing happens.
Side note: I've just installed VSCode on my new PC (Windows 10,) so it's a fresh installation if that helps (it works on my laptop.) This is unsettling since I can actually see Ctrl + Shift + P listed in the bindings table.
It's important! Since for the most part I use this command to habitually open files.
Now I understand it can be possibly caused by some other software, perhaps -- I'm looking into that (will post what I find, if I ever get it to work.)
If I can't figure it out, I'm simply going to rewire it (at least for now) in key bindings but it's not really what I want to do.
Meanwhile, is there any classic cases that can jam Command Palette, specific to new installation?
This is an actual issue on GitHub There is a good chance it's caused by other software which may be something like:
Password keychains
Screen capture
OBS
(Check any similar software you might use I can almost guarantee that one of the other apps is intercepting it globally. You said it's a new installation, so you probably installed other apps.)
To see all shortcuts or rebind Ctrl + S, then K as per this edit keyboard shortcuts tutorial. Make sure Ctrl+Shift+P is on this list. Another issue that could cause this is your VSCode json settings file is read only or doesn't exist for some reason. A lot less likely, but still worth checking. Good luck with this.
Razer Cortex after the last update started to intercept Ctrl + Shift + P and other keybindings. I've turned it off and it helps, but you can try to change those keybindings in the Cortex settings if that's what causing the problem in your case.
it would be "ctrl + k + s" to see the command list, and yes F1 is the alternative to "Ctrl+shift+P" I also have Razer mouse and it seems to conflict.
For Mac Users
In Mac had the same problem and realized that it occures after triggering Git Lense extention. A quick inspection on key bindings and disabling the non-default binding there solved the problem.
For me, TickTick on the Mac had overtaken the Command+Shift+P. I disabled it in TickTick -> More -> Hotkeys and removing the global shortcut.
A more general way to remove conflicting shortcuts on MacOS:
choose Apple menu > System settings, then click Keyboard in the sidebar. (You may need to scroll down.)
Click Keyboard Shortcuts on the right. A warning icon appears next to conflicting keyboard shortcuts. Double-click the shortcut, then change it.
I'm pretty new to Eclipse because I'm starting to learn Java Programming. I'm having problem with the editor.
I'm running Eclipse on an iMac with a German keyboard. The keyboard shortcut for "Redo" action is Cmd+Shift+Z.
When I use this shortcut, a tiny window in the right down corner pops up and asks if I want "Inspect" or "Redo"...
In the preferences, I have three different "Inspect", (just one was with a shortcut, but it was something like Cmd+Shift+I). Anyway, I erased it to be sure.
Afterwards I tried again, but the same little window asks me for Insect or Redo. Now I don't know what to do.
I'm having the same problem with Cmd+R ("Run" action). For "Run" there is another keyboard binding.
In Eclipse preferences, I could not find both commands that are on the same shortcuts. Or better I found them but they are separate.
Go to the Keyboard shortcuts preferences :
Eclipse > Preferences > General > Keys
and unbind or rebind whatever is giving you trouble.
In your case, go to Inspect and remove the binding for Cmd+Shift+Z.
In some cases, removing the binding for a key command will remove all bindings for it so after you do so, check out Redo and make sure it is still tied to the command.

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.
http://www.mkyong.com/java/content-assist-ctrl-space-is-not-working-eclipse/
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.
I want to be able to switch from one file to another in the Eclipse editor (in the Java perspective) from the keyboard (and bind those key combinations to buttons on my mouse). What are the shortcut keys for switching the current tab to the next or previous?
Mac OS X:
Fn+Cntrl+↑
Fn+Cntrl+↓
Effectively Cntrl+page up/page down as given in the first comment for #wibbe01's answer.
According to this thread, switching editors are:
Shift+Command+F6
Command+F6
, which you can remap to:
Shift+Command+Tab
Command+Tab
Note, as mentioned in that same thread:
Command+E lists all the opened editors, allowing to quickly select one
Shift+Command+L lists all the active key bindings.
The bug 86248 helped introduced the Cntrl+↑ and Cntrl+↓, which Bjorn Tipling reports working on Mac with a Fn in front of it.
If I were you I would just go to the eclipse menu, then preferences. Under the general section of the tree there is a section called "Keys" In there you will find things for "Next Editor" or whatever other keyboard shortcuts you are looking for. Map them to what makes sense to you....then you're happy like this :) or maybe even like this :D.
Enjoy.
In Eclipse's preference panel, go to Keys. The command is called Next Tab and Previous Tab, just map these to whatever you want. In my case since I normally use mvim are:
⌘+⇧+[
⌘+⇧+]
You can change all shortcut keys in preferences by pressing ctrl+shift+L 2 times . Switching tab in Eclipse (ctrl+F6) is not easy to press. So you can make it ctrl+tab or whatever you want.
Since I have my F keys mapped to the default setting, I had to use fn-command-F8
I figured it out by first confirming command-F8 was indeed mapped under command-shift-L
