Answer 1

So i'm not really sure what happend when I upgraded but the solution is as follows-

1. head over to - http://sourceforge.jp/projects/pdt-tools/releases/51060 - and download the file "org.eclipse.php.ui_2.2.1.v20101001-2300.jar"

2. open up your eclipse folder - /Applications/ecplise/plugins

3. replace the "org.eclipse.php.ui_2.2.1.v20101001-2300.jar" with the one you just downloaded

4. open terminal

5. navigate to your eclipse folder - /Applications/eclipse

6. type "./eclipse -clean"

This fixes up your keyboard short cut but in my case I need to re-map from command + / to command + shift + c

Thanks to slomojo for this- 7. Go to windows -> preferences -> general settings -> keys and update the following http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/264/bildschirmfoto20110915u.png

went to download the file again but couldn't find it, had to use: eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/tools/pdt/updates/2.2/… – Libbie

Answer 2

Have a look in Eclipse > Preferences > General Settings > Keys

The shortcut may have been overridden by another one.
