ALT+CMD+R stopped working

Question

I am using Mac and Eclipse. I used to use ALT+CMD+R for name refactoring. Unfortunatelly this key stopped working and using this key I write ® (only in Eclipse). ALT+CMD+R is still correctly defined in Keys section of Eclipse preferences. What could cause this strange behaviour?

Answer 1

Perhaps there is a conflict with other keybindings. Open up the binding view and in a unbinded command press ALT+CMD+R. Check the conflicts section. If you can just see the "Rename-Refactoring /In Windows" you are fine.

Else search for "refactor" and then in the bind section of "Renaming-Refactoring" when "In Windows" clear everything and then press ALT+CMD+R. Check for conflicts, clear them if any and then save.

Voila! you should be ready.

Answer 2

try unbinding the key. Close the eclipse and bind it again. Or try to bind it with different key. Is all other shortcut keys work?

Answer 3

I had the same issue and unbinding/rebinding did not work. However, uninstalling Aptana plugin fixed this issue right away.
