Moving from Eclipse Oxygen (4.7), to Eclipse Photon (4.8) introduced a strange issue with wrong keyboard layout, only for the shortcut.

I mean, for instance:

  • in any editor, typing A key is producing a 'A' letter, which is OK
  • but using CTRL+A, to select all, is NOT working, because it is regarded as a CTRL+Q (i.e. keyboard layout regarded as Qwerty instead of Azerty here)

After analysis, I found various related bug report on Eclipse' Bugzilla:

But, I still don't have any working workaround to use Eclipse Photon with the good keyboard layout for shortcuts (despite having removed ALL keyboard layouts, but the one wanted, on my OS => which is GNU/Linux Fedora 26, with Gnome Shell).

Acting, the bug fix is NOT embedded in the 2018-09 release, I moved back to my previous Eclipse Oxygen release, where the bug does not exist.

Do you know any way to have this bug fixed with Eclipse Photon release?

  • Have you tried the following workaround? https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=533395#c6 Does it work in [2018-12 M1](https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/2018-12/m1)? – howlger Oct 22 '18 at 14:43
  • Yes, like said: "despite having removed ALL keyboard layouts, but the one wanted" – Bsquare ℬℬ Oct 22 '18 at 14:52
  • Please check if the bug is fixed in [2018-12 M1](https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/2018-12/m1). If not, comment on the bug. – howlger Oct 23 '18 at 07:30

    @howlger I just tested it; the bug does not exist anymore in this release. Anyway, it doesn't answer to my initial question ... – Bsquare ℬℬ Oct 23 '18 at 11:56
  • You can either fix the bug yourself in Photon (which is no longer maintained), upgrade to the milestone pre-release 2018-12 M1 (which is what I would recommend), or wait until the final release 2018-12 on December 19. – howlger Oct 23 '18 at 12:22
  • Does anyone have a proper answer? – Bsquare ℬℬ Nov 21 '19 at 09:36
  • If you still have this issue, you are using a version that is outdated for quite some time. – howlger Nov 21 '19 at 10:31
  • I don't, It is only to enhance this Q/A. – Bsquare ℬℬ Nov 21 '19 at 14:07

This is a known issue of Eclipse Photon (4.8) (see this comment for a workaround). It has been fixed in the follow-up release Eclipse 2018-09 (4.9), on September 19, 2018.

Upgrade Eclipse to get the fix (e.g. by enabling major upgrades).
