Description Tony Chen CLA 2011-12-09 01:55:20 EST 
Ctrl+Space is the Default shortcut key to switch to Chinese input method. It conflicts with the content assist key and will actually disable Content Assist in a Chinese system. People can change the preference to set a new key, but there's just too many steps to do it correctly. 

In eclipse, we can configure more then one short cut keys for a function. It would be good to add another shortcut key for content assist, for example Ctrl + Enter.

What does JDT do in this situation?

Hi Brian:
Actually, this is a eclipse common problem. Or Operating system problem. The OS find the HotKey was registered by Input method program will not pass the "event" to Eclipse. So JDT also has this problem. And it is not just about CA any HotKey in Eclipse or other App will have this issue.

Does JDT add multiple hot keys for specific actions to avoid this issue?
Comment 4 Xiao Bin Chen CLA 2011-12-18 21:11:49 EST 
I have tested JDT,Same problem also exists. JDT does not add multiple keys to avoid this issue. I think it is a Eclipse common issue.
Comment 5 Brian Svihovec CLA 2011-12-19 09:54:49 EST 
If JDT does not add multiple hot keys for the same action, the I don't think we should either.  It would be interesting to know if the JDT team has discussed this issue in the past.

I will first put it to the future.
