I like to use the cmd-e binding to switch between files without using the mouse. Unfortunately I can't seem to get this binding to work in the Git Repositories and Git Staging views. cmd-shift-r works, but not cmd-e. I've seen this behavior on both Mac OS and on Linux.
I can not reproduce this on Linux, Eclipse 4.3.1 and EGit nightly (3.2.0.201311211813). What version of Eclipse and EGit are you using?
Eclipse Standard/SDK Version: Kepler Service Release 1 Build id: 20130919-0819 EGit: 3.0.3.201309161630-r I'm using the standard release channels.
Hm, could you try it with a newly-downloaded Eclipse and a new workspace? I'm not sure what EGit would be doing that causes this to break (and what the difference is between this and Open Resource).
I just installed this eclipse in the past month with a new EGit install as well. Is there something newer than what I have available?
You could try if updating to EGit nightly fixes the problem (although I don't know why is should be different regarding this), see the download page: http://eclipse.org/egit/download/ Trying with a clean workspace would also be help, because some things are stored in the .metadata folder of the workspace.
OK, I just tried it on Linux with an empty workspace and open resource works, but ctrl-e doesn't work. I checked and there's no .log file in my .metadata directory either. I was thinking perhaps there would be some errors listed. Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers. Version: Kepler Release Build id: 20130614-0229 When I look in plugins I see 2 entries for EGit, one is 3.0.0.201306101825-r and one is 3.1.0.201310021548-r. I also notice that ctrl-e doesn't work in the history view either. I tested putting focus on the other views that are typically at the bottom and no ctrl-e there either. Perhaps it's related to the fact that these views are at the bottom by default? I have them moved up with my editors as I want the extra space in these views.

I'm reassigning this to Platform UI. Jon, could you attach some screenshots of when this works and when it doesn't? I think that could be helpful in diagnosing this.
Created attachment 237858 [details] screenshot of plugins Since I opened this ticket I have added the stable update site and updated to 3.1.X of EGit (see the screenshot). Now ctrl-e is working for me in Linux. I don't understand what changed, but it appears to be fine for me on Linux. I guess I'll make sure I have the same version at work on Mac and see if it works there as well.
Need some ideas here. It works in my test workspace that was created from scratch. I went back to my other workspace on Linux and ctrl-e didn't work. So I created a new workspace and imported my project and it still doesn't work. Is it possible for something in the project to be messing with the keybindings?
Ctrl+E now works from the mentioned views, both under MacOs and in Linux. Closing as worksforme. Please, reopen if you can reproduce.
I'm running Eclipse Neon on Linux and ctrl-e still doesn't do anything when I open git staging.
