I can't type curly braces in Eclipse

Question

I have been working with Java in an Eclipse IDE. I can type every single character just fine except for the '{' character. I need to resort to Ctrl+c and Ctrl+v every single time when I want to create a new block of {}.

In the Window>Preferences>Editor>Typing Braces are on, and they autocorrect just fine after I manage to copy a {.

Outside eclipse, in a text editor, or even in this question, I can type { by hitting Atl Gr + B, so I am thinking the problem is inside Eclipse.

Any help would be really appreciated, this error is getting quite annoying.

Answer 1

The problem is with the skip breakpoints option. After unbinding the Alt+B key command, try to unbind the Ctr+Alt+B (skip brakepoints).

This solved my problem. If you try to type the "{" you can see the skip breakpoint option flashing.

Answer 2

转到 Windows-> 在搜索字段“绑定”中键入首选项，单击键，查找 Alt+B，单击它，然后单击取消绑定命令。

Answer 3

解决方案：窗口 → 透视图 → 自定义透视图 → 调试 - → 指向跳过所有断点 → 键绑定并将其从Ctrl + Alt + B更改为Ctrl + Alt + M 。

Answer 4

Because people work differently and on different things, Eclipse makes it easy to change shortcuts and also to view shortcuts for the commands you use a lot.

In your case: Window->Preferences->Keys -> ctrl+alt+b Unbind Command should do the trick. It also the same in Spring Tool Suite 4(It is an Eclipse-based development environment.)
