The last couple of days the Ctrl+Z shortcut (Undo) scrolls down a line (a-la emacs). I tried to switch schemes back and forth, change and redefine the Undo in Default scheme, nothing seems to work. Other combinations (Alt+Ctrl+Z) work fine, other workspaces work fine with Ctrl+Z.
Any tip that will save me from redefining the workspace?
In Eclipse, go to Window > Preferences and in the left-tree, go to General > Keys. In the 'type filter text' box, type Undo and you'll see the Undo command appear in the bottom list. You're free to change this mapping from the default Ctrl + Z to another mapping.
File Navigation – Eclipse Shortcuts CTRL SHIFT R – Open a resource. You need not know the path and just part of the file name is enough. CTRL E – Open a file (editor) from within the list of all open files. CTRL PAGE UP or PAGE DOWN – Navigate to previous or next file from within the list of all open files.
To undo an action press Ctrl+Z. If you prefer your mouse, click Undo on the Quick Access Toolbar. You can press Undo (or CTRL+Z) repeatedly if you want to undo multiple steps.
The key bindings are stored in the file [workspace]\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.e4.workbench\workbench.xmi
.
You can search for Ctrl+Z
in this file. What does it look like? You could try to edit it by hand.
Of course, it is advisable to backup the workspace before.
From time to time, I have encountered similar issues with keyboard shortcuts. They just disappear, or doesn't seem to work as expected.
Until I figure out what the root cause is, I check key bindings.
Window > Preferences > General > Keys
Check if the key bindings are still valid. If not, then set them and it should work.
Window > Preferences > General > Keys Look for Undo in the list, if the Binding is empty click on Restore Command apply and close. That should enable the shortcut.
