Format-Keys on Linux are not working [message #214635]

Hi,

I've a strange problem. The shortkey for format code does not work
correctly, everytime I press Control-Shift-F (like on Windows) at the
cursors position a underlined F is displayed, when releasing the keys,
it dissapears.
I think the X-Server catches the keycombination, but Control-Shift-S for
organize imports works fine.
In order to get format code I've to hit escape and then press Control F
together.

The keymapping shows:
Category: Source
Command: Format
Key Sequence: Shift+Ctrl+F
When: Editing Java Source

and

Category: Source
Command: Format
Key Sequence: Esc Ctrl+F
When: Editing Java Source

I'm nearly shure the problem isn't eclipse, but I don't know where to
edit this behavior, so I hope someone has solved this already :)

Does anyone know something about this?

Greetings

Torsten

This is a known GTK feature that happens for Ctrl+Shift+[A-F]

Then why does CRTL-SHIFT-F work for the MyEclipseIDE XML editor?

I think the keybinding infrastructure supports that type of bindings
when they are declared via the plug-in XML, but you cannot create the
binding via the key binding preference page.

Hi Tom,

thankss for your information. Do you know if this is fix or if the keys
can be "cleared" in GTK's configs?

I guess I am dense. If the keys work, why won't the binding preference
page let me select the key?

Nice, really nice.
Now it seems I understand the problem and it looks like gtk will be
"fixed" or better improved.
So lets wait :)
