Description madison.don06

Build Identifier:  I20110613-1736

My Eclipse 3.7 is not responding to Shift+Control+U, although the menu
item "Search > Occurrences in File" works OK, and the key binding
looks right.

The last version I used was 3.5, which required hitting Shift+Control+U twice to get the desired effect (search for references to the selected identifier in the current file). In 3.2, Shift+Control+U worked with no additional keystrokes -- the additional keystrokes were apparently required with the introduction of the sub-menu under "Search > Occurrences in File" that let's you specify identifiers, methods, etc.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a java file
2. Move the cursor to a member variable.
3. Type Shift+Control+U -- nothing happens.
4. Type Shift+Control+U again -- nothing happens.
5. Chose menu item, Search > Occurrences in File > Identifier. The occurrences will be shown in the search view.

In addition to the reported problem, an attempt to bind Search All Occurrences in File command to Shift+Ctrl+U does not succeed. Once the Shift and Ctrl keys are released the contents of the Binding box change to underlined letter 'u' and no binding gets added on Apply.

Is it correct to say that rebinding the key to something that's not Shift+Ctrl works?

Only Shift+Ctrl+U does not seem to work. I tried a dozen of other Shift+Ctrl+letter combinations and they all were accepted when creating binding.

Maybe this key binding is already taken somewhere by the OS? Such key bindings never reach Eclipse.

Do you get this behaviour in your computer's other programs?

Indeed, according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_input#In_Linux, Shift+Ctrl+U is the beginning sequence for Unicode input in KDE. I wish I knew how to disable it.
