I cannot use alt+/ to activate automatically the window of content assist using java editor in eclipse 4.2.2,it seems invalid when setting shortcut alt+/ only for the distribution of eclipse 4.x.x.but it's okay before the version of eclipse 4.x.x . (Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers.Version: Juno Service Release 2 Build id: 20130225-0426).
it is no problem(it could be able to activate automatically the window of content assist) if I change the shortcut into 'alt+.' or any others, except 'alt+/'.
In which editor? What keyboard layout do you have? Do you use Emacs key bindings or did you assign it yourself? Can you try this: 1. download and install 4.3 RC4: http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/S-4.3RC4-201306052000/ 2. start with a new workspace 3. paste this into the 'Package Explorer': public class Test { } 4. switch to 'Emacs' 5. in the Java editor press Atl+/ ==> works fine for me
Thank you,Mr.Megert for the full and elaborate reply. I'm using Java Editor. I'm a Chinese user,most of the people in China use U.S. keyboard layout and the OS system language of Chinese. And I use the default Key bindings in Eclipse IDE. It still happened the same problem for me,though I follow your tips anyhow,even downloading the distribution 'eclipse-SDK-4.3RC4-win32'. On the other hand,it's also something confused me when setting alt+'/' as shortcut: I cannot type 'alt+/' on the 'binding' input text field in 'keys' panel of the dialog 'Preferences'. Some people also get the same problem (see the comments on the page http://www.iteye.com/news/25432,and maybe you need the google translate).

The auto activation using 'alt+/' as a shortcut of content assist is okay if I change into eclipse indigo in my computer.(Version: Indigo Service Release 2 Build id: 20120216-1857)
OK, I think I see your problem: you simply define Alt+/ for content assist but you probably did not unbind or change the one for Word Completion, which is already Alt+/. Please try this.
The shortcut of the Word completion is 'Ctrl+Alt+/' in my computer.although I change it into any other , the same problem happened to me .I search keyword 'alt' on the 'keys' panel, I do not find any item to be set the shortcut 'alt+/',but I cannot type 'Alt+/' as the shortcut on the 'binding' input text field in 'keys' panel of the dialog 'Preferences'.
(In reply to comment #6) > but I cannot type 'Alt+/' as the shortcut on the 'binding' > input text field in 'keys' panel of the dialog 'Preferences'. What happens when you try it? Is there anything in the .log?
I cannot enter 'alt+/' on the 'binding' input text field of any item in 'keys' panel of the dialog 'Preferences',and nothing happened to me except that i cannot continue to enter '/' after entering 'alt'. Can you tell me Where to find the '.log' file?I don't find any logging file or in the directories below: <INSTALL DIRECTORY for eclipse>\eclipse <INSTALL DIRECTORY for eclipse>\eclipse\configuration\** <WORKSPACE for eclipse>\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.ui <WORKSPACE for eclipse>\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.ui.editors <WORKSPACE for eclipse>\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.ui.ide <WORKSPACE for eclipse>\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.ui.intro <WORKSPACE for eclipse>\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.ui.workbench <WORKSPACE for eclipse>\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.ui.workbench.texteditor could I send the information attached relevant snapshots directly to your email to describe the problem more exactly?

I think it is the same problem as I run into in the url https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=260612. and he must be a Chinese user according to his username.

Yesterday, suddenly I found this problem was not exist anymore in my computer, I could set 'alt+/' as a shortcut. it's all okay in whichever eclipse 3.3 or eclipse 3.4 . Today I installed a software featured finding the hotkey of os. I am aware of the cause that the text editor of notepad++ installed a plugin of zencode have a shortcut of 'alt+/'. the 'alt+/' as shortcut in eclipse could be normally used when I close the notepad++. I'm sure the problem happened by hotkey conflicting.
