Keystroke for Goto (or Open) Implementation [message #649161]

I want the equivalent of CTL-B in Intellij, which navigates to the appropriate location based on what' underneath the cursor:

if what's under the cursor is a Type then navigate to that type

if what's under the cursor is a method than navigate to that method

The Eclipse Key commands do not seem to work. I have tried the following:

Open Declaration (in windows) CTL-B (nothing hapens)

i've also tried various other keystrokes in case there's a bug specifically with CTL-B: but none of them work.

In Eclipse Open Declaration is bound to F3 by default. You can assign a
different key via Window > Preferences > General > Keys.

Hi thanks for the reply.

As mentioned in my original post, I have looked into the existing keystrokes (that are not working) as well as tried to add new ones.

If you are saying that F3 is supposed to do the two actions I mentioned, well it is not. Nothing happens. Neither are the additional options that I tried.

I do see the focus going away from the editor window. But to where, i'm not sure. In any case nothing happens/changes in the editor itself. In particular no navigation occurs.

Which build are you using ? Which OS ? Do any keystrokes work, e.g.
Ctrl+Shift+T (Open Type Dialog)? Only Open Declaration Command does not
work ?

The Ctl -sh-T (open type) does work fine. I am not at that computer so can not give precise build - but I believe it is 3.5.2. Will confirm tomorrow.

Discovered what was the issue here.

There were apparently conflicting key mappings for CTL-B. One was for groovy which I do not use, so I don't know why it were considered 'conflicting'. In any case Eclipse could not decide what to do and ended up doing nothing.

After removing the mapping for Groovy the behavior is now as expected.
