I have a problem when using editors (like NetBeans/CodeBlock) in windows 7.
E.g.: If I start to initialize a text using "(Double/single Quotation) and text is starting with a it will give äaaa instead of "aaaa" (this web editor also the same for my PC)
How can I stop this occurrences ?
Sounds like you are using the US-International keyboard layout.
Check the keyboard layout icon in the system tray when you have the misbehaving application focused; you can change the layout from here, or by pressing a key shortcut. (Maybe you're doing that by accident? You can turn the shortcut off, or remove the unwanted layout completely, from Control Panel → Region and Language → Keyboards and Languages → Change keyboards.)

In the Eclipse IDE(Neon. 3 release 4.6.3) editor, sometimes(especially after I selected vertical region of code being edited) keyboard language change key(Korean to English, vice-versa) doesn't work.
So, I have been rebooting Eclipse to get the key work again. How may I be able to recover the key function without rerunning the Eclipse?
When you change text selection mode to vertical, you might have used the shortcut which is alt+shift+a. As a matter of fact, (left)alt+shift changes input language at the level of Window.
So, you have to use "(left)alt+shift"(without a) to reset keyboard input language back to your home language(not English). That way you can use the language key on your keyboard to toggle input language between home language and English.
I use Eclipse and a non-QWERTY keyboard. My # sign is typed through Alt GR+A. This is on Windows 7.
The Eclipse Editor won't let me type an # which is bad.
I disabled the key shortcut Alt+A, it still doesn't work.
# works in other programs and in other windows inside Eclipse (e.G. find, options etc.) but not in Editor.
As this also applies to Alt GR+P (which is my } ) a general solution as to how to figure out what key events get consumed would be nice.
The Eclipse editors use the StyledText widget. This ignores some inputs depending on the platform.
On Windows the widget ignores anything with just Alt or Ctrl or Alt+Shift or Ctrl+Shift. The code claims that Alt Gr should look like Ctrl+Alt and would get through.
On Macs Cmd and Cmd+Shift is ignored.
On Linux / Motif Ctrl and Ctrl+Shift is ignored.
There is a very old Eclipse bug 20953 which sounds like this problem, but it supposed to have been fixed long ago by the code I mentioned.
I'm using notepad++ (v6.5.3) and I constantly have to change the size of the tab for viewing some results. Not that it's taking me a lot of time to do it manually everytime, but it would be great if I could optimize that.
Is there a way to do so? Would a macro be the solution, or are they just for typing stuff?
Thanks a lot!
Ok, there's an easy way how you can achieve this - I have tested it right now:
Install AutoHotKey (or start portable version which runs without installation)
In Windows 7 and above, ensure you launched AutoHotKey as Administrator (otherwise you get inconsistencies in its behavior) - if not sure, exit it and restart it as administrator
Right click Autohotkey tray icon and select Edit This Script
Import the macro below this list at the end of the AutoHotKey script file and save the file
Right click Autohotkey tray icon and select Reload This Script.
–– This was end of general steps, now let's go with your macro: ––
In N++, display Preferences window and press its Close button1 at the bottom (NOT at the top-right corner)
Now you can use shortcuts Win+F2 and Win+F3 to switch different tab sizes instantly
SendMode Input
DetectHiddenWindows, On
SetTitleMatchMode, RegEx
;--------------------------------- Hotkeys for Notepad++ only
#IfWinActive ahk_class Notepad\+\+
#F2::Send {F10}{Right 6}{Down}{Enter}{Tab 2}{Space}16{Enter}{Tab 3}{Space}
#F3::Send {F10}{Right 6}{Down}{Enter}{Tab 2}{Space}4{Enter}{Tab 3}{Space}
#IfWinActive
1) Important: N++ user experience provided in dialog boxes is absolutely terrible. There are no anchors where you can fix focus when using keyboard. Thus you always need to perform step 4 manually when leaving Preferences dialog box otherwise the macros would send keys into incorect window page OR at correct page but incorrect control. Preferences dialog window remembers selected page and control. Macros I created for you therefore assume that correct page is already listed and button Close was recently focused.
Good news is Notepad++ windows with this weird behavior are rare exception from general user experience. In other places in N++ (or in other apps) where user interface components (menus, dialogs etc.) always start from the same point you do not need any special precautions like the one in step 4.
Adjust the macros as you like:
you can create more of them
you can adjust the numbers "16" and "4" typed into tab size input box
you can change shortcut keys to something else
you can replace sending keys with sending mouse clicks at desired screen/window positions
you can achieve many other useful shortcuts in N++ and in all other apps – check AHK deeper!
It is relatively straightforward to change font sizes in Eclipse through preferences (and answered several times in this forum).
However I'd like to change font size quickly (e.g., with Ctrl++ and Ctrl+- like in Linux terminal or Ctrl+mouse wheel in MS Office apps). Is there a way to do this in Eclipse?
Eclipse Neon (4.6)
Zoom In
Ctrl++
or
Ctrl+=
Zoom Out
Ctrl+-
This feature is described here:
In text editors, you can now use Zoom In (Ctrl++ or Ctrl+=) and Zoom Out (Ctrl+-) commands to increase and decrease the font size.
Like a change in the General > Appearance > Colors and Fonts preference page, the commands persistently change the font size in all editors of the same type. If the editor type's font is configured to use a default font, then that default font will be zoomed.
So, the font size change is not limited to the current file and the new value of the font size is available here Window > Preferences > General > Appearance > Colors and Fonts.
I know it has been long since the original question was posted, but for future reference:
check this project, https://github.com/gkorland/Eclipse-Fonts
I have used it, and it's very simple and efficient.
Take a look at this project: http://code.google.com/p/tarlog-plugins/downloads/detail?name=tarlog.eclipse.plugins_1.4.2.jar&can=2&q=
It has some other features, but most importantly, it has Ctrl++ and Ctrl+- to change the font size, it's awesome.
The Eclipse-Fonts extension will add toolbar buttons and keyboard shortcuts for changing font size. You can then use AutoHotkey to make Ctrl+Mousewheel zoom.
Under Help | Install New Software... in the menu, paste the update URL (http://eclipse-fonts.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/FontsUpdate/) into the Works with: text box and press Enter. Expand the tree and select FontsFeature as in the following image:
Complete the installation and restart Eclipse, then you should see the A toolbar buttons (circled in red in the following image) and be able to use the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+- and Ctrl+= to zoom (although you may have to unbind those keys from Eclipse first).
To get Ctrl+MouseWheel zooming, you can use AutoHotkey with the following script:
; Ctrl+MouseWheel zooming in Eclipse.
; Requires Eclipse-Fonts (https://code.google.com/p/eclipse-fonts/).

Then, to change Java editor font: Java > Java Editor Text Font > EDIT
There it is.
Oddly, working on a .js file and Ctrl, Shift, += works to zoom in (and Ctrl - works to zoom out but you have to select 1 or 2 after Ctrl -). This only works when I'm in the js file but the zoom applies to all my open tabs. Using Eclipse Juno on Ubuntu.
In Eclipse Neon.3, as well as in the new Eclipse Photon (4.8.0), I can resize the font easily with Ctrl + Shift + + and -, without any plugin or special key binding.
At least in Editor Windows (this does not work in other Views like Console, Project Explorer etc).
Found a great plugin that works in Juno and Kepler. It puts shortcuts on the quick access bar for increasing or decreasing text size.
Install New Software -> http://eclipse-fonts.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/FontsUpdate/
I use an Eclipse plugin (in Eclipse Marketplace)
https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/fontsize
Here's a quicker way than multi-layer menus without resorting to plug-ins:
Use the Quick Access tool at the upper left corner.
Type in "font", then, from the list that drops down, click on the link for "Preferences->Colors and Fonts->General->Appearance".
One click replaces the 4 needed to get there through menus. I do it so often, my Quick Access tool pulls it up as a previous choice right at the top of the list so I can just type "font" with a tap on the enter key and Boom!, I'm there.
If you want a keyboard shortcut, Ctrl+3 sets the focus to the Quick Access tool. Better yet, this even automatically brings up a list with your previous choices. The last one you chose will be on top, in which case a simple Ctrl+3 followed by enter would bring you straight there! I use this all the time to make it bigger during long typing or reading sessions to ease eye strain, or to make it smaller if I need more text on the screen at one time to make it easier to find something.
It's not quite as nice as zooming with the scroll wheel or with a simple Ctrl+ or Ctrl-, but it's a lot better than navigating through the menus every time!
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.
