Description Jaromir Uhrik 2004-09-01 10:17:04 UTC 
Sun Java Desktop only!
[200408311800; jdk1.5.0-rc-b63(Sun Java Desktop
Release2)]
It is not possible to invoke code completion on
the JDS by Ctrl+Space. Nothing happens when the
key combination is pressed and it is hard to use
the IDE-editor without completion feature.
Comment 1 Miloslav Metelka 2004-09-03 12:23:03 UTC 
The problem is that there is a resident application that consumes the
Ctrl+SPACE key_pressed event so JVM will not get it (confirmed with a
simple swing app). Honza L. knows the details. AFAIK that app is for
people with disabilities so I suppose that they needed some easily
press-able shortcut. A workaround is to use the other shortcut for CC
explicit invocation which is Ctrl-\.
 BTW the same problems can be reproduced in other IDEs -

Closing as wontfix. Honzo Ch. please decide whether it would be
appropriate to attempt to convince the JDS team to use some other
shortcut for their app. Thanks.

Apologies for misinformation, the concrete culprit of the Ctrl-space
consuming on JDS is not known yet and is still being searched.

Comment 4 Jaromir Uhrik 2004-11-09 15:21:56 UTC 
Since it is not the problem of IDE I am marking as verified.

FYI, CTRL-Space does work on JDS R3-build14. This is a preview version
of JDS R3, so most probably it will work for the final release of
Cinnabar as well.
