What exactly did you unbind F2 from?  What did you bind it to?

I can't reproduce this in 4.3.0.I20130515-2000, when I bind "Show Tooltip Description" in Editing Text from F2 to something else, F2 no longer does anything in Java editors.

I have eclipse kepler. I will tell you tomorrow the build id.
I have macos 10.8.3

1. Unbind F2. Sort by bindings. Go to F2 and hit unbind command.
2. Search content assist. Copy command bind F2.
Note: this happens also if you bind directly f2 to content assist without copy command.
If I sort by bindings I have 9nly content assist for F2.

Comment 6 Paul Webster 2013-05-22 10:51:11 EDT

If I go to the Keys pref page and unbind F2 from show tooltip and go back to my editor, F2 does nothing.

If I then bind it to content assist (in the editing text context, not In Dialog And Windows) then it works.

Do you have a lot of customized keybindings?  Can you reset your keys preference page (it wipes out all user bindings)?

I've tried binding F2 to content assist - Editing text - doesn't work
and neighter - Dialogs And Windows..

Comment 14 Paul Webster 2013-06-20 11:01:40 EDT

It works fine on linux.  I've got ahold of a mac to try it on as well, but F2 effects the brightness of the screen.  How do I turn it into a normal key?

try FN + F2 /
or KeyRemap4MacBookPro

Comment 16 Pierre-Yves Bigourdan 2020-02-08 14:44:23 EST

Wondering whether this could be the cause of Bug 538244? The F2 binding doesn't work on Windows or macOS when using LSP4E.
