My problem is that the content assist window won't pop up after clicking Ctrl + Space
. I checked my shortcuts and the content assist is bound to Ctrl + Space
. Sometimes the window automatically pops up making suggestion after typing dot e.g., but this won't happen when using the keys combination.
Eclipse version:
Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers.
Version: Kepler Service Release 1 Build id: 20130919-0819
My OS is Ubuntu 12.04 if that matters.
Solution. Go to Window -> Preferences -> Editor -> Content Assist -> Advanced and enable Parsing-based Proposals. Click Apply. Content assist should start working immediately.
To enable the Content Assist window to open automatically, go to the Content Assist Preferences page, accessed from Window | Preferences | PHP | Editor | Content Assist and mark the 'Enable auto-activation' checkbox.
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.
In my case; Window>Preferences>Java>Editor>Content Assist>Advanced
Make sure Select the proposal>Template Proposals,SWT Template Proposals,Java Proposals ,Content assist cycling>Template Proposals,SWT Template Proposals,Java Proposals is ticked.
I managed to fix it finally. The 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.
