Toggle Comment on latest Eclipse for PHP [message #657870]

Hi,
I'm recently upgraded my Eclipse downloading latest packaged: Eclipse for PHP Developers.
What happened to comment short-cut Ctrl + / ??
It doesn't work any more. What's worse I cannot toggle comment from Source menu either?
Was the combination changed or I need to configure something?
Or maybe it's a bug related to my example?
It was very help full and I'm considering switch to previous version just to get this feature.
Thanks for any help
Best regards

Yep I updated today to the patch today, I think it was
EPP PHP Feature 1.3.2.20110301-1807 org.eclipse.epp.package.php.feature.feature.group

control + /

does not work any more for toggling comments.

I have exactly the same issue here too after updating to the latest version a couple of days ago.

If I press CTRL+Shift+L it brings up a list of the shortcuts and 'CTRL+/ toggle comments' is listed along with 'CTRL+shift+/' and 'CTRL+shift+\' for add and remove block comments however none of them do anything.

I can't see the same shortcuts listed for anything else which I thought may cause be causing a conflict.

A solution would be superb.

I'm on a Mac and experiencing the same issue. I was usually able to toggle comment using Command+/, not anymore.

Same here. OS Windows XP, Eclipse Helios + PDT.
Upgraded from Galileo a few days ago and now the 'Toggle Comment' and 'Add Block Comment' Functions don't work anymore.

Anyone with a solution for this annoying issue?

I've confirmed it on my Helios + Ubuntu 10.10 installation that "Toggle Comment" and "Toggle Block Comment" does not work. Neither the defined shortcuts or using the menu options under " Source>Toggle Comment or Source>Toggle Block Comment

Just to add to my post above my issue is on Windows 7 so it does seem to be affecting people on multiple platforms.

This post had a solution that worked for me

http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&th=205375& amp;start=0&S=ef58561fd3814f61bc3386addebba90c

Download the jar listed http://sourceforge.jp/projects/pdt-tools/releases/51060 name org.eclipse.php.ui_2.2.1.v20101001-2300.jar

Replace the one in your eclipse/plugins folder with this one. and run eclipse with -clean argument on the first run to get it to be picked up. Changlog had better description of what to do.

Unfortunately that solution doesn't seem to work for me so any other suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks NerdyNick! For me this solution works!

Be sure to run eclipse with the -clean argument from console after you updated the mentioned .jar file:

cd path/to/your/eclipse_installation
eclipse -clean

I did launch it using the -clean argument as per the instructions.

I've also been trying to assign a shortcut to the SVN commit and I've bound alt+c to the SVN commit function in dialogs and windows and it shows up as being available when pressing shift+ctrl+L but does nothing when pressed so I don't know if helps denote anything.

Most of the other shortcuts I use seem to be working and for the ones that don't work the same key presses haven't been assigned more than once.

Not sure if this will help you, but worth a try. I came across this solution that involved the SVN hooks not working.

I installed the new .jar and ran eclipse -clean but this did not fix the issue for me either

edit: nevermind, was too hasty in my comment, the command works from the "Source" drop-down menu. Looks like I messed up the shortcut

Thank you sir, that has resolved the SVN shortcut issue perfectly.

I still have the issue with the blocks and I've noticed a couple more things that may help.

When editing php on the 'Source' menu I have toggle comments, add comment block and remove comment block all listed with shortcuts but none of them work even when selected from the menu.

These options work fine when editing a css file even using shortcuts.

If I look at the shortcut settings under preferences toggle comment is listed twice for editing php source, java source and javascript with the keys CTRL+/ and CTRL+7. I presume this means that both shortcuts should work, neither do.

I also note that when looking at the shortcut keys under the 'when' dropdown box I have two entris for 'editing php source' and 'debugging php', is this normal?

I still have problems with comment shortcuts. Issue 386879 is supposed to be fixed though: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=386879
