Eclipse Organize Imports Shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+O) is not working

The Java Organize Import command is overwritten by another Ctrl+Shift+O command: in Window > Preferences: General > Keys the Java Organize Import command (where When is In Windows) is bound to Ctrl+Shift+O, but in the main and right-click menu Source > Organize Imports the command is displayed without the shortcut.

There are two solutions for this problem:

• Change or remove the shortcut of the command that overwrites the Java Organize Import command:

  1. Find the command: In the Java editor press Ctrl+Shift+L and see which command is bound to Ctrl+Shift+O. Probably, it is the Beans Quick Outline command.
  2. In Window > Preferences: General > Keys change or remove the binding for the found command.

• Restricts the scope of the shortcut of Java Organize Import to the Java editor:

  1. In Window > Preferences: General > Keys select the Java Organize Import command and change When from In Windows to Editing Java Source. This solution restricts Ctrl+Shift+O to the Java editor and disables the shortcut in the Package/Project Explorer.

To fix this issue:

Go to Preferences -> General -> Keys Click on Filters... and de-select Filter uncategorized commands then Ok.

Then look for the command Go To Symbol in File and select it. Then click on Unbind and then Apply and Close

Ctrl+Shift+O. should now work.

EDIT:

Also unbind any other conflicting commands and leave only one command for Ctrl+Shift+O and set the When to Editing Java Source.

Please keep in mind that if you are using an AMD GPU, your Radeon Driver could block Ctrl+Shift+O which is used to toggle an ingame-overlay. It can be changed to other keys as follows: Games → global settings → performance monitoring
