Can't insert asterisk in eclipse - eclipse

All of the sudden I can't use shift + 8 to insert an asterisk into my eclipse workspace. If I do that I get a tooltip similar to the code completion box that gives me two options "Add to working set" or "import". I looked at the key bindings in window > preferences > general > keys and there isn't anything there. I'm running Ubuntu 13.04 x64. This is a really strange problem, has anyone ran into this before? I've rebooted, cleaned the workspace, etc.

I had this exact problem and did the following to resolve
Window->Preferences->General->Keys
enter 'Add to working set' into filter
for the option that comes up, click 'Unbind Command'
enter 'Import' into filter
for the option that comes up, click 'Unbind Command'
Hit the OK button to save your preferences
restart eclipse
Note, I too had a case of these bindings not showing up in the Keys screen originally. I restarted eclipse and the key bindings were there.

Eclipse Displays Popup on Rename/Refactor Command

I am getting a popup to choose a command to run when pressing the rename/refactor shortcut. I highlight a file in the Package Explorer, press the command, and popup!?!?!
I have used Eclipse for 13 years, and I have never seen anything like this issue. The rename/refactor shortcut has worked flawlessly on every other instance of Eclipse I have ever used.
The closest help which Google could find is to open the shortcut preferences. I unbinded every command associated to the shortcut binding. Still, the popup continues to appear.
If any of this helps, I am on MacOS Monterey 12.5 and using Eclipse 4.22.0.

Why sysout shortcut won't work in Eclipse on Mac?

I have been a windows user since the beginning, just recently switched to MacOS, all the preferences settings in my Eclipse, they are all set to default with sysout option on, but when I typed sysout in eclipse, it won't automatically go into System.out.println(). I've checked several other related topics as well as most of the resources which mention 'ctrl + space' (Which worked perfectly on Windows for me). But, when I try to use 'command + space' on my Mac it just launches Spotlight search & I have even tried resetting the commands to default in Eclipse, Please let me know how I can get my sysout working.
Just to be simplify in images.
Try to unbind the shortcut on mac:
1- Mac Preferences of system
2- Choose Keyboard:
3- Go to Layout of keyboard and Uncheck "ˆspace"
You can try to change on eclipse, but if you want to use "^space" to shortcut, will be necessary unbind this on mac. By default or mac keys as shortcut to change keyboard type.

NetBeans 8.2 - next tab / previous tab shortcuts not working

When I upgraded to NetBeans 8.2 on two separate Windows 7 computers I've lost possibility to use Ctrl + PageUp and Ctrl + PageDown, which switch tabs.
I had to reassign the shortcuts to other, far worse combinations. It's just these shortcuts don't work any longer in NB 8.2, however they're listed in the settings page.
Note: the same shortcut works in Notepad++, so it's not some OS issue.
Any ideas on that one? Thanks :)
i ran into the same issue using netbeans 8.2 on ubuntu 16.04
for me, the problem was the Nimbus look-and-feel. running with "--laf Metal" or omitting the laf entirely fixed the problem for me. i'm not able to test on win7, but it's worth experimenting with the laf value

If you're running Ubuntu as a Parallels VM on Mac, this worked for me:
Go to your VM's "Configure..." menu
Select "Mouse & Keyboard"
Click "Open shortcuts preferences..." button
Select "Application shortcuts"
Uncheck "Show Previous Tab" and "Show Next Tab" (yes, it's counterintuitive)
Make sure you have your keyboard shortcuts set in Netbeans for Ctrl+Tab & Ctrl+Shft+Tab

Can't find GDB option in Eclipse on mac

I'm new to Macs but I don't think this is a problem that comes from that. I've been attempting to set up GDB as a debugger for programming in golang on Eclipse. I know how to do it for the most part, but at some point one of the steps is to open up your debug preferences in the C/C++ configuration and fill in the path of where the debugger is located. Unfortunately, the option doesn't even show up for me:
Why doesn't the "GDB" option show up under Preferences >> C/C++ >> Debug? If i'm not mistaken, it should be a part of the CDT package correct? Am I just using the wrong version? It should be giving me this option:
At least it does for Neil Craft, the author of this tutorial
For anyone coming here looking for an answer:

If there is no GDB section in the C/C++Debug subtree, close the preferences window, and try to first start a debugging session for any project that you can already run without problems. You can do it by either clicking the Debug button on the toolbar, or selecting RunDebug from the main menu. This attempt will, of course, fail with an error message about the gdb command, but it will force the said C/C++DebugGDB settings to appear in the preferences.

How to stop/disable PyUnit when using PyDev

I would like to have PyUnit stop showing up each time I hit CtrlF11. It's distracting and I don't understand it's output anyways, nor did I (knowingly) elect to enable it. I can't find anything in PyDev settings.
Ctrl + F11 has actually nothing to do with PyUnit. It is a key binding that per default runs the script you last launched. In your case the last launch you made must have been a PyUnit launch. If you would have launched the script with Run As then this would be launched if you press Ctrl + F11.
This could be a possible solution to your problem:
Remove the PyUnit launcher from Run History (Run -> Run Configurations and then delete the the configurations listed below Python unittest.
Hope that helped!

Actually, in the PyDev > PyUnit settings (in the same screen you've shown), if you uncheck the 'show the results in the unittest results view', it should do what you want (i.e.: stop showing the PyUnit view)... or that's not what you wanted?
