Eclipse autocomplete not working

Question

The autocomplete of eclipse is not working now and I searched for hours but I couldn\'t find an answer to solve it. I haven\'t used it for long time then the first thing aft

Answer 1

I was facing the same issue. If you use OS X Eclipse Ctrl+Space shortcut can be interfering with OS X system's "Selecting previous input source" using Ctrl+Space shortcut as default.

It is necessary to edit System Preferencies/Keyboard/Shortcuts/Input Source and uncheck the "Selecting previous input source" or change the shortcut on something else. Eclipse should work after that even without restart.

Answer 2

I faced hot key problem with use Ctrl+Space. I tried to fix the issue first by Windows->Preferences->...->Content Assist-> Advanced and selected Select the proposal kinds contained in the 'default' content assist list:

• Other Java Proposals,
• List item
• SWT Template Proposals
• Template Proposals
• Type Proposals

but didn't help.

Therefore, I tried another solution. There would be multiple languages on your computer which could be eating up your Ctrl command. To solve this Go to Control Panel -> Region and Language -> Keyboards and Languages (tab) and then Change Keyboards.

You’ll see a list of languages installed – remove any that you don’t want (click the language and then click the Remove button) until you only have the ones you want left. That fixed it for me, but you can also check the Advanced Key Settings tab to make sure that none of the keyboard short-cuts that are set include Ctrl-Space.

Once you’ve done that, Ctrl-Space should work nicely!!!!
