Hi, all.

I just upgraded to MyEclipse Blue 7.5 and I’m getting this annoying popup whenever I hit Shift-Delete to cut text. It’s a little tooltip-looking thing that takes the focus out of the text editor and lets me select “Cut” by pressing the down-arrow once.

This is, frankly, infuriating. How would I go about turning this off?

Thanks and have a great day,

Dumb question: Why are you hitting shift-delete instead of the standard cut combo, ctrl-x?

Dumb question: Why are you hitting shift-delete instead of the standard cut combo, ctrl-x?

No problem.

I use Shift-Delete because it’s awesome. You should try it sometime.

Shift-Delete has a tactile sensation that Ctrl-X just doesn’t give you. Speed. Power. Control. Ctrl-X is a dull butter knife whilst Shift-Delete is a laser guided chainsaw.

I submit that if people were to open their minds and accept *all* of the keys on their keyboard (yes, even Scroll Lock) that the world would be simpler, faster, smarter, better, and sexier. What kind of monster doesn’t want that?

Also, I use Shift-Delete because it’s supported by every other Windows application since the beginning of time.

Does anyone know how to turn this annoyance off? The fate of the universe may very well hang in the balance.

Scott,
I could not replicate this at my end. I tried this in a java class and I did not get any pop-up.
Can you give some more information on this?
1. What are your installation details? You can get them from MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details.
2. What is the editor that you are using?
3. Can you send a screen shot of pop-up using the pm button at the end of this post.
4. Can you verify if this happens in a new workspace?

Found it. The problem was occurring in the java editor. There were conflicting bindings to “Delete from Model” in the Topcased editor and “Remove All Visible Results” in the SQL Editor.

Please note that I have never used either of those editors and have not modified the default settings.

Scott,

There were conflicting bindings to “remove from Model” in the Topcased editor and “Remove All Visible Results” in the SQL Editor.

Its not clear if you have resolved the issue. Please let me know If there are any issues.

Got the same problem in java editor window with Shift-Delete key.
Yes, it was really annoying.
I removed the conflict by removing both conflicting keys: “Remove from Model” and “Remove All Visible Results”.
Thanks to Scott, who noticed the conflict. His response to “rmcvay” user is perfect, I read it like a poem.

Though MyEclipse logic seems very strange to me. I think that MyEclipse should understand, that I am working in java editor, not Topcase editor or SQL results view window.
So there should be no conflict, these keys should work in absolutely different contexts. And also if later I want to use this standard windows shortcut in these other windows, it will obviously not work, since I removed the key assignment to fix the conflict.
This looks like MyEclipse bug to me.
