I have a strange problem with Eclipse (Helios). After a few hours of working some of my keyboard keys start printing different characters in the text editor window.
For example:
SHIFT+2normally prints"but actually prints@#normally prints#but actually prints/
It feels like it changes the keyboard locale from UK to US, however I don’t change any settings. I am mainly using Eclipse for Android development. No other programs are affected. Any ideas on how to fix, or even what could cause such a problem?
I’ve hit something similar before: Windows has this evil key-shortcut enabled by default, that changes between installed locales when you press
left ALT + left Shift, which is needed in many Eclipse-shortcuts. Check your keyboard -settings (or something alike) under control panel, I don’t have a Windows-machine to check where you could disable this with right now.
