Eclipse ctrl+right does nothing


Eclipse ctrl+right does nothing



I'm editing a Java source in Eclipse (Version: Kepler Release). I'm used no navigate text on other editors using Ctrl+Right to move to the next word and Ctrl+Shift+Right to select the next word. But on eclipse nothing happens, the cursor stays in the same place.



On Window->Preferences->General->keys the binding seems to be correct, it says:
Command: Next Word; Binding: Ctrl+Right; When: Editing Text; Category: Text Editing.



But it's not working.





works for me in Kepler

Ensure your system is recognizing your keyboard correctly in other applications.

this bug still exists in 2017 (Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers, Version: Neon.3 Release (4.6.3), Build id: 20170314-1500)

Eclipse's welcome screen causes this kind of bug in the editor specifically (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=426557). Sometimes you can find that when you restart can't move with control+arrow in the editor but you can in other views like console window.



You can disable welcome screen ( in most eclipse based IDEs it's a checkbox in the welcome screen ) and then restart eclipse just to be sure it won't happend again. Everything will work again.





This worked for me in Neon.

I am also using Neon. "Just the restart" didn't work for me. But when I unchecked "Always show the welcome screen" at the bottom-right, it worked.

It worked for me using Neon as well. What a wonderful time to be alive!

I had an issue just like this with Eclipse Neon. I was baffled by answers I was finding about the welcome screen, but I disabled it, and apparently that was causing the issue, because Ctrl+Shift+Right/Left worked, after disabling it. In Neon, the welcome screen has an "Always show Welcome at startup" box you can uncheck, in the lower right corner of the welcome screen when it appears. After unchecking it, selecting words worked, again. Somehow.





In my Eclipse Neon, when I try to uncheck the box, the system doesn't seem to care and the next time it is again checked. I created another question about how to disable the Welcome Screen in Eclipse Neon.

I've got the same problem with Eclipse-Oxygen and disabling the welcome screen fixed the issue. I gave this answer just to confirm the solutions explained above also work for the following eclipse version;


Eclipse-Oxygen Version: Oxygen.1a Release (4.7.1a) (released on October 2017)



To be precise you don't need to restart Eclipse, but close "affected" document only.
It works for me - Oxygen.2 Release (4.7.2)



On ubuntu 16.4 Welcome screen is blank and there is no way to disable it. Installing libwebkitgtk-3.0-0 as suggested on eclipse site work just partially and no check box are showed.


libwebkitgtk-3.0-0



Last resource: find where are your plugin directory and remove


org.eclipse.ui.intro.universal_3.3.0.v20160519-1604.jar



In my installation was at


~/.p2/pool/plugins/org.eclipse.ui.intro.universal_3.3.0.v20160519-1604.jar



Just a note: in the last 4/5 years Eclipse's bugs was raising very fast :( ....

Opening a url is failing in Swift

Opening a url is failing in Swift breakpointing inside the callback and logging success shows false.

Export result set on Dbeaver to CSV

Export result set on Dbeaver to CSV Normally I use Dbeaver for windows and always export my result set like this: run my query --> select the result --> export the result set --> select export to clipboard --> done This step by step puts my result set in my clipboard and I can paste it wherever I want to work with it. The problem is that now I am using dbeaver for mac and this guide is not working. I can go on until the moment that I select my result set like in the image below: exporting data set But once I go further in the process, in the last step I get: no query Note that in "source" it was suppose to show the query that originated the result set, but instead it says just "select. As a result it does't select my result or anything (besides being "successful"). Normally my query would show up there automatically and I couldn't find any option that corrects this problem in the menus. Please help me! Thanks. Aft...
