Custom Eclipse Shortcut doesn't work

Question

I'm trying to attribute a custom shortcut key in Eclipse Kepler. It's for the Base from Working Copy in the Compare context menu any give file (via right click). This screenshot shows how it's been setup:

Pressing that key combination does absolutely nothing. ATM, other Compare sub menu commands are working fine (ie. CTRL+ALT+L). When I right click on a file > Compare, I can see the assigned shortcut in the context menu.

I've restarted Eclipse after assigning the shortcut to make sure it "takes" properly. Still to no avail.

Answer 1

It may be because of other commands also registered for the same short cut i.e Ctrl + Alt + L.

Please do verify how many commands are registered for the short cut Ctrl + Alt + L, by typing the "CTRL+ALT+L" text in the search box below the Scheme combo box.

If multiple command are registered then change the short of your command so that it become unique, then try the command and verify the result.
