In Preferences->General->Keys, I have bound the command Incremental Find Reverse to Ctrl+R when Editing Text.
However, when I click Ctrl+R while editing text, Eclipse does not invoke the command.
Instead as you can see in the screenshot below, 2 things happen:
1. In the status bar, where the command name should display if it were invoked, it simply displays “Ctrl+R” (as if nothing were bound to it)
2. After a short (1 second?) pause, a small window popups up in the lower-right corner that says Create Crosstab Ctrl+R, C
(if I wait for that little crosstab window to popup and then click “C” – nothing happens. However, if I then press Ctrl+R immediately after, the Eclipse Preferences window pops up. I don’t know why that is)
I suspect that this Crosstab thing (or perhaps a hotkey to open the preferences window?) is interfering with my ability to map Ctrl+R. However, I cannot find any bindings or commands for Ctrl+R,C or Create Crosstab under Preferences->General->Keys.
How can I get Ctrl+R to invoke the command I’ve mapped it to?
Thanks!
AbbyAbby,
Can you re -paste the image for me. You can hit the post reply button at the bottom and upload the image.Ctrl-R is, according to the message in the lower right corner, a sequence key, expecting another key to be pressed to complete the sequence, just like Alt-Shift-X, Q executes a configured Ant build.xml file. It seems to be bound to Create Crosstab for the sequence Ctrl-R, C. That is not the Default configuration (at least not with my default install of ME 6.5), which only lists Ctrl-R for ‘Run to Line’ when ‘Debugging’ is active.
OTOH, the Emacs binding lists Ctrl-R also as the Incremental Find Reverse binding…
You have to un-define all sequences of a key before you can bind a new function to it like the OP is trying. An alternative would be to bind the function to Ctrl-R,Ctrl-R or Ctrl-R,R
That is not a bug, it’s a feature! (I always wanted to say that, and now I found a good reason 😀 )
Original Eclipse docs: http://help.eclipse.org/stable/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.user/concepts/accessibility/keyboardshortcuts.htmMaybe a ‘bug’ could be the OP is using some plugin (Jasper Reports?) that redefines the key without a proper notofication to the settings panel, but that is most unlikely.
Could a -clean on the Workspace or a really clean Workspace clear this issue up?

Thank you, yes, that is precisely the problem. And because of it, I can’t find a way to remap the key.
Best bet would be to report the bug to that plugin-project, it’s nothing either Eclipse or MyEclipse can do about it, IMHO.

afichtner,
This looks like a bug and I’m looking into it. I’m sorry you ran into this.Thanks for looking into this. Any luck finding a way to rebind that key?
