I just upgraded to Eclipse 3.0RC1 under Linux/GTK and was annoyed to find that the format command has been moved to "Esc Ctrl+F". When I went into the preferences to change it back to Shift+Ctrl+F, I saw that that key binding was already entered. It appeared that both key sequences should work, but when I tried Shift+Ctrl+F in a Java editing window, Eclipse displayed an underlined capital 'F', which then disappeared. There was no effect on the editing window. Removing the "Esc Ctrl+F" entry in Preferences does not allow me to use Shift+Ctrl+F, even though it apears to be an active binding, according to the Preferences window.
This problem is introduced by the work to provide key bindings in dialogs. It stems from a feature in GTK+. Please see Bug 42009 -- particularly comments #29 and #40. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 42009 ***
Moving to verified (cleaning up my resolved list). No extra verification has been done for these bugs.
