When I undo a sequence of steps in a Java editor in Eclipse 3.4.2, the cursor skips over a bunch of comments unrelated to any change - only the method comments (eg. /**), not inline comments.
Does this happen to anyone else? Any solutions to stop it?
stop editing your source code while debugging ;)
Doesn't happen on Eclipse 3.6 so accepting this to close it

Edit: I am a dumbass who repeatedly went into CA for JavaScript instead of Java. This is what happens when you blindly use the search box, folks.
I know this question has been asked and answered here before, but there's a problem. The solution just isn't there anymore.
I have the exact same problem as this good fella. I saw the answers, they say it's been patched in the 2018-12 release, which I assume is about 18 months old (I've only recently started using eclipse). I'm on the 2020-03 release and, as I said, the Disable insertion triggers except 'Enter' just isn't there anymore. See below:
Eclipse Preferences->Editor->Content Assist Window in 2020-03 release:
I tried looking for it elsewhere in Preferences but I can't find it. When I try to google it all that comes is this same solution, and nothing useful comes up if I filter the searches for time. Does someone know where this option went or if there is another way I can fix this? It's driving me nuts.
Your screenshot shows the JavaScript, not the Java content assist preference page where this setting has never existed:
Window (macOS: Eclipse) > Prefences: JavaScript > Editor > Content Assist
The Java content assist setting described in the mentioned answer can still be found at the same place:
Window (macOS: Eclipse) > Prefences: Java > Editor > Content Assist
I am used to the focus follows mouse option for years.
In the VSCode editor I want to switch between the integrated terminal and the code writer by simply focusing the cursor on them.
For example in Geany editor:
Does anyone know how to enable focus follows mouse from settings or using any simple hack while trying to move between the code writer and terminal?
The simple answer is it's not possible at the moment. There have been numerous issues raised in the past (#25685, #44214) and they have been closed because "the number of votes ... and duplicate issues" are not high enough. Go out and raise an issue and get others to vote on that issue.
There was a pull request made a couple of years ago that would introduce a focusOnHover setting. This appears to resolve the issue but it has not been accepted and is now a bit stale and needs some work. So you could for VSCode (for yourself), apply the pull request and then build it.
I am keen on this feature as well.
It is now a candidate for the backlog, see https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/93772 (Provide a "focus-follow-mouse" setting)
So upvote it if you want this. It needs 20 votes to move to the backlog.
I installed a plugin that allowed me to create UML diagram from my code. Everything was working fine until I found that now all keyboard shortcuts (like CTRL-X, CTRL-Z, CTRL-SPACE, CTRL-SHIFT-F,..) except for CTRL-C and CTRL-V now require a click on a small square that appear on the bottom right corner. And this is required every single time.
This are few examples of the square that appears:
If I click on the message or press Enter I can access the functionality. Does anyone know how to get rid of this annoying thing or at least reset Eclipse related configurations?
Thanks in advance
EDIT:
I obviously tried uninstalling the plugin but nothing changed.
Try Window / Reset Perspective as the duplicate shortcuts may be still in the perspective.
Also try restart specifying -clean option to rebuild the workspace metadata.
The pop-ups you are seeing are the "keybinding conflict" popups. These are common when you have two different plugins defining the same keybinding and looks like these. Still in your case there's only one option to choose from and it definitely looks like a bug.
In the Eclipse bugtracker database there are two issues that are looking like the one you have: #377048 and #374942.
These issues are marked as fixed in 4.2-I20120410-0633. So if you are having Eclipse 4.2 without any service releases installed, you would probably have this. The solution is - to use a newer Eclipse version. Eclipse 4.3.1 is available to download since today, and it should contain a lot of other fixes since 4.2. So I encourage you to install it.
The other solution could be to try playing with keybinding dialog (Window->Preferences->General->Keys) and trying to unbind and re-bind the commands that you are having issues with.
I have had this problems for a couple of times but usually could solve it by an update. However, this fix does not work for me anymore.
Actually, two problems here:
The minor one: I have osX 10.8.3 and Eclipse Juno (M20130204-1200) installed. Since a good amount of time, it takes eclipse ~ 4-5 minutes to start up for the first time after the system start. Once it was closed and is re-opend again, it starts up quick. I think this problem came since apple started to mess around with the JRE? Does anybody also experienced this delay? Could it be that one of the installed plugins checks for updates and causes the delay?
The major one: after eclipse is fully up & running, I can not open .py files anymore. When I open my pydev project (btw. pydev 2.7.3), eclipse freezes and I need to kill the whole thing and restart. -> I can not use it for python coding anymore, which is my primary task...
Suggestions? Re-install eclipse maybe?
Thank you for suggestions,
El
Can't really comment on #1, but for #2, can you try attaching jvisualvm to see what's going on there? (and create a thread-dump and post it somewhere so that I can take a look at it).
I'd ask you to create a bug-report for that, but the new tracker is still not up (I hope I'm able to put it up right after the funding at http://igg.me/at/liclipse is finished).
The problem was resolved by following these steps. They essentially disable one

I'd like to have auto completion in Eclipse the way I am used to it from VS.
When typing an open bracket the selected entry from the completion list is selected (Eclipse does not auto complete than)
If the first point is not possible and I press enter, I'd like Eclipse not to insert brackets (I disabled inserting closing brackets already).
Any thoughts? Thanks,
Philipp
you mean triggering code completion here:
myMethodCall(<^Space
If so, AFAIK this is currently not possible. Did you consider to report an enhancement request on this at Eclipse JDT?
You may also have a look on http://eclipse.org/recommenders which may be somewhat related to what you are looking for. Maybe you can start a discussion there about how you expect code completion to work in Eclipse in the recommenders forum here: http://eclipse.org/forums/eclipse.recommenders
