Eclipse on Mac OS X : Shortcuts are broken

Question

I'm pretty new to Eclipse because I'm starting to learn Java Programming. I'm having problem with the editor.

I'm running Eclipse on an iMac with a German keyboard. The keyboard shortcut for "Redo" action is Cmd+Shift+Z. When I use this shortcut, a tiny window in the right down corner pops up and asks if I want "Inspect" or "Redo"...

In the preferences, I have three different "Inspect", (just one was with a shortcut, but it was something like Cmd+Shift+I). Anyway, I erased it to be sure.

Afterwards I tried again, but the same little window asks me for Insect or Redo. Now I don't know what to do.

I'm having the same problem with Cmd+R ("Run" action). For "Run" there is another keyboard binding.

In Eclipse preferences, I could not find both commands that are on the same shortcuts. Or better I found them but they are separate.

Answer 1

Go to the Keyboard shortcuts preferences :

Eclipse > Preferences > General > Keys

and unbind or rebind whatever is giving you trouble.

In your case, go to Inspect and remove the binding for Cmd+Shift+Z.

In some cases, removing the binding for a key command will remove all bindings for it so after you do so, check out Redo and make sure it is still tied to the command.
