I want to use Eclipse to develop PHP on my Mac osx Mavericks. How ever I'm using a non-us keyboard and therefore I cannot type > sign which is really frustrating. The command for this is: Shift+ALT+X. I tried to find a solution in the Preferences -> General -> Keys but I could not make it work.
Any idea how can solve this?
I found the solution. Preferences->General->Keys order by Binding. Scroll till u find the Shift + Alt + X + ANY LETTER you have to unbind all of them and then it will work.

For some reason I can't enter parentheses in Eclipse. SHIFT + 8 doesn't work. I have to press CTRL + SHIFT + 8 in order to get an opening parentheses (likewise for ")").
I believe the reason for this is Ctrl "Contrib (Button)" which is some sort of status message at the lower right corner. I'm not sure if it's always been there, but probably not.
This is the only similar problem I found in the net, but the solution doesn't work for me, because such a path (Help -> Software Updates -> Manage Configuration) doesn't exist in my version of Eclipse. Help -> Search didn't help either.
How do I get rid of it? If it's not the source of my problem, what is? Going with CTRL + SHIFT + 8/9 to enter parentheses is really annoying and its not something I'd like to get used to.
The reason for these weired short cuts came up with eclipse sdk. If you downloaded and install the Eclipse SDK Tests you will find some weired settings. Like a blue texftfield in bottom right corner with "Ctrl Contributor" in it and also these short cuts.
To uninstall only these packages go to Window -> Installation Details -> Installed Software (tab) and searching for Test. You should find Eclipse SDK Tests and uninstall it. It just adds some non-sense features to your IDE to test if everything works.
Hope it helped and sorry for my english!
Found this, which solved my problem.
Went to Window -> Preferences -> General -> Keys, and looked for key combinations that used SHIFT + 8. There were two such options:
- Import
- Add to Working Set
I removed the hotkeys from them and restarted Eclipse. It worked for me.
Just downloaded and installed Eclipse Classic, PyDev and the Java Runtime for Windows 64 bit.
All is fine, it seems to work ok - except code folding using the keyboard.
I have tried Ctrl + Numpad-Subtract, Numpad-Add and so on, I have assigned my own sahortcut keys - it simply won't work.
Note: Code folding works when using the mouse. But I program, I use the keyboard, so I need this to work using the keyboard. Anyone have any ideas?
It is just figured out. The root cause is Eclipse by default uses the same key combinations for the standard code folding and PyDev's. So if the keys are changed to, such as Ctrl+9 for Collapse All, PyDev will collapse all code blocks without any issue.
The place to make the changes is Window>Preference>General>Keys>Python Collapse All
I use Ubuntu (64 bit). I saw some discussions about Ctrl+Space, but in my case I can't do Ctrl+S, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+Shift+F and, probably, something else (all these cases work fine in other programs, so it's not a keyboard problem). It doesn't work, then it does, then it doesn't again. Is there a way to fix that? Thanks in advance.
I am also using 64-bit Ubuntu (12.04 now, 11.10 before that) and Eclipse. I was having similar problems like what you are describing, until I realized that keyboard input method/layout settings actually matter in Ubuntu (while it does not in Mac OS or Windows) while using copy/paste. If you are using two keyboard layouts (e.g. I am using English and Bulgarian), Ctrl-C / Ctrl-V will not work with the non-English layout. If it does no work, double-check the current keyboard layout.
It took me awhile to figure that out - hope it would help you too.
I've solved the same problem rebuilding my workspace CTRL + B on Windows

Looks like there are some key combination which screw up with the focus in the eclipse editor. Try using the shortcut for Focus Return
Shift+Alt+f
The Declaration shortcut key F3 seems not work in eclipse indigo at mac os 10.7.3,
it always show the dashboard and desktop chose interface.
and i try the ctrl+F3 and command+F3 always not work.
and the ctrl+click is the right key in my system, i don't want to change it.
I think maybe it's the key setting issue, but i have no idea about it.
Could help me.
Thanks
Using fn + F3 should do the trick
If you'd like to make all the function keys default to their standard behavior and instead press "fn + F3" for the OS X specific feature shortcut you can go to:
System Preferences -> Keyboard
and check the
"Use all F1,F2, etc. keys as standard function keys" box
I am using Netbeans to develop a Ruby on Rails application. Unfortunately, I have a problem with it.
Sometimes the keyboard stop working and I can not input code in the text editor.
Also the keyboard short cut specific to netbeans stop working as well (such as ctrl + s)
Nevertheless, the Ubuntu keyboard short cut still work (alt + tab ...)
The only solution I found is to maximize/unmaximize the window of the text editor or switch tab.
This probably isn't a proper SO question, but have you tried switching from the community version of Java to the Sun version (or the other way around)?
