Using EMACS key bindings, the command for “mark” is Ctl-space (and possibly Ctl-Shift-@).

The java, css, etc editors correctly allow Ctl-space and then Alt-w to wipe a section into the clipboard. However, when writing a JSP or html file, the “mark” sequence (Ctl-space) is ignored and therefore, one cannot copy or cut anything into the keyboard via EMACS bindings.

Have you remapped “mark”? If not, I think you have violated the eclipse managed keybindings for emacs. Is there another way to copy paste (other than using the mouse?).

Thanks,

I don’t know if this helps at all, but things like Ctl-S do not perform search, etc in the JSP pages either (as the normal EMACS keybinding does). So it seems, some of the emacs keybindings work correctly – and other’s go awry.

Is there a central place to go into the plugin or application to alter myeclipse bindings. It does seem that the css and xml editors don’t cause a problem with the EMACS bindings.

We don’t have any custom key binding configurations as we only use the Eclipse bindings.

I realize that you probably didn’t intend to block those bindings, but unfortunately, they are blocked in MyEclipse JSP editor only.

If you have a chance, use the myeclipse epsilon keybindings and open both a java file and an html page in the My Ecliplse JSP editor. Then, type Ctl-s (that is the “find” directive) and the first three letters of a word on in your file. In the java file, you will see the letters you type show up in a little buffer in the bottom status bar of eclipse and the cursor will start to move through the file – matching said characters, whereas, in the JSP editor, no search is performed and the letters appear directly in the editor as though you were typing them with no “find” in mind.

If you still think its not related to the plugin, can you give me an idea of where I might look? The CSS, JS and JAVA editors work just fine.

Thanks,

Luther,

With that description it sounds like we inadvertantly blocked the bindings. I’ve opened a new case in our internal issue tracking system so that we can look into it and remedy it in an upcoming service release. Sorry for the inconvenience.
