Eclipse : shift + 8 button is not working

Question

I am facing issues with keyboard specifically in Eclipse. I wanted to put multi line comment using /** but using "SHIFT + 8" is not working at all. It wont print anything. If we simply press 8 button it does print 8.

In fact I tried other combinations like "SHIFT + 1 " -> prints ! (Exclamation mark). It works perfectly fine in Eclipse.

Surprisingly, I tried "SHIFT + 8 " in other applications It works perfectly. I dont understand why this only SHIFT + 8 is not working.

Answer 1

Open Window->Preference see if there is any shortcut assign with SHIFT + 8, if its there just unbind it. See below image:
