Ctrl + Shift + L Quick Search is not working in STS Spring Tools 4 and Eclipse


I have installed new version of Spring Tools 4.6.2 and Quicksearch (CTRL+Shift+L) doesn't work, it shows the "Show Key assist" instead.

I didn't find any post here related to this.

Is it really bug in newer version or let me know alternate shortcuts for this key assists


Solution

  • The keyboard shortcut is now CTRL+Alt+Shift+L. Some background as to why...

    The STS Quick Search was contributed to Eclipse and is now bundled with Eclipse proper. However, the old keyboard shortcut has a conflict with "Show Key Assist" keyboard shortcut and this was not acceptable. So, when we contributed Quick Search to Eclipse, we had to pick something else for a shortcut.

    If you don't care much about the "Show Key Assist" having a shortcut and are already used to CTRL+Shift+L for quicksearch. you can change the keybinding via Eclipse preference.
