Ctrl + Shift + R is not working in Eclipse

Tags:

We all know that we can use Ctrl + Shift + R to search any file in the workspace. But today, I surprisingly found out that it is not working anymore.

Ctrl + Shift + H and Ctrl + Shift + T are working though.

I believe I am missing a setting somewhere possibly in Window -> Customise Perspective menu. Not sure what is it exactly.

Any help is appreciated.

Why Ctrl Shift R not working in Eclipse?

In my case, when I re-started eclipse, the workspace opened in J2EE perspective by default. Ctrl+Shift+R does not work in this perspective. I changed my perspective to 'Java' and it started working again. Maybe you have the same issue.

What is Ctrl Shift R in Eclipse?

Why Eclipse shortcuts are not working?

My problem was solved when I restored defaults values of my Keys. Go to Window -> Preferences -> General -> Keys. Then, click Restore Defaults button at the bottom, and restart Eclipse.

Just realized this morning that I have a screen capture tool called Snagit installed which uses the same key combination to start capture.

When I closed Snagit, Ctrl + Shift + R is back in action in Eclipse.

But not sure why the same Ctrl + Shift + R did not even open Snagit last week when I tied so hard. May be Snagit was not running last week!
