Eclipse Oxigen delete line shortcut doesn't work












1















I'm using Eclipse IDE Oxigen 3A on a Linux Mint 18.3 with Cynnamon (new to Mint). I can't get the Ctrl-D shortcut working while editing code. I can get to Windows -> Preferences -> Editor -> Keys and hit Ctrl-D in the Binding field (Delete line is already bound to Ctrl-D) but in editor that key combination has no effect. How to have back the Delete line shortcut?

          EDIT: This problem is not only related to Oxigen.



          I had the same problem after deleting eclipse .metadata folder.
          I found the answer after I saw the OP comment on this answer:
          https://stackoverflow.com/a/24900833/10889383



          The "When" field was set to "Editing Text".
          So I duped the "delete line" command with the "Copy Command" button and then switched the "When" field to "Editing Java Source".
