If you start a new workspace with Eclipse SDK, close the welcome screen and then press Ctrl-3 the Quick find does not work. Workaround; 1. Click the (new*) Magnifying glass or in the textbox (Depending on the version) then Ctrl-3 works. Note, I put in 4.11 as version as <=4.10 works and >=4.11 has this problem. * <OT>Nice! I like this new UI element - that and the hamburger menu on views are the little improvements that make Eclipse continue to be nice</OT>
I think there is a general problem with keybindings in a new workspace. Other shortcuts work for you?

The keyboard shortcuts work with the Welcome screen open, but stop working when you close the welcome screen, and then start working again when you press the magnifying glass.

Same thing version wise, works with <= 4.10. I believe this is also not necessarily related to the new workspace. I occasionally see that right after startup key bindings do not work. Looks like initial focus / context is either not set or unset during UI startup, so that we need one extra click / focus change to make keybindings work.

I have a feeling that this might be caused by a broken binding context because the editor stack is empty after closing the welcome screen. If you click on a view title instead of the search icon, does that also repair the key bindings?

(In reply to Andrey Loskutov from comment #4) Indeed I can reproduce like this too, no need for new workspace: 1) Start eclipse - no projects, no welcome screen open. At this point keys work 2) File -> New -> Untitled text file. Keys still work 3) Close the file. Keys stop working (In reply to Dani Megert from comment #5) > No issue on Windows using I am running Linux (Xubuntu 18.04 and OpenJDK 8)
This was duplicated as GitHub issue https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.ui/issues/324 . So let's close it here and move further discussions/fix to GitHub
