Redo-shortcut vanished - eclipse on OSX

Question

For quite a while my Eclipse Juno won't let my redo my undo's via shortcuts, although the binding is set properly and I didn't change a thing. You can see there's something wrong here as the shortcut isn't even listed anymore.
That's how it's set in the settings:

Did anybody encounter the same problem? I have the problem at 32 and 64bit Eclipse Juno Service Release 2, Build 20130225-0426 on OSX 10.8.3, but I think it was already there back with 10.8.2.

Answer 1

If you describe your redo key configurations like below, your problem will be solved.

I just tested to add one of those and it began to work again, but I really wonder why there's no global way to define it for all editors. – Excited

I have 2 mac mini and one mac pro at my office. There is no problem with mac book pro and another mac mini. I don't know why I have problem with current mac mini with eclipse juno. I tried various key combination, I choose editing java source it only allows java sources. I added different combinations with different when states so it solved :p – Brickey

Yeah same with latest version Kepler - on laptop it's good, but on desktop redo doesn't work - adding this for "Editing Java Source" fixed it. – Efrainefram

Answer 2

vtokmak's answer seems to be working for most, but it's probably worth noting that for some other users, the problem may be conflicting key bindings. You can check/rule this out by searching for the binding your shortcut ought to be (e.g. "Shift+Ctrl+Z". Be careful of order).

Thanks! This was my problem. A plugin (JADclipse decompiler) had bound itself to Shift+Ctrl+Z. – Joby

Answer 3

When you install eclipse plugins they occasionally mess up with your key bindings. You should look for 'Shift+Command+Z' by sorting the 'Binding' column, as it is not searchable. If you find more than one key bindings, then you should only keep one global key binding, as per the below image.

The 'Redo' command, with 'When' set as 'In Dialogs and Windows' is the only one global option people should have.
