Ctrl + Space not working for content assist on eclipse

Go to Windows > Preferences > Java > Editor > Content Assist > Advanced > select all Java only. If you select all, then multiple occurrence of same instance would be shown in Suggestion list. which might be annoying some times.

enter image description here


For that Go to

Eclipse --> Windows --> Preferences --> Java --> Editor --> Content Assist --> Advanced --> select all Java & Java Type Proposals.

and check mark : Java Proposals(Code Recommenders)


I managed to fix it finally. The problem was that the ibus was overriding the shortcut so I deleted this shortcut configuration.

Type ibus in the dash: Search for ibus

Then select Keyboard Input Methods. From there click on the first three dots next to the Enable or disable textfield. This windows should appear: Shortcuts

If there is something bound to Ctrl + Space simply delete it.


In my case; Window>Preferences>Java>Editor>Content Assist>Advanced

Make sure Select the proposal>Template Proposals,SWT Template Proposals,Java Proposals ,Content assist cycling>Template Proposals,SWT Template Proposals,Java Proposals is ticked.
