I want to have a keyboard shortcut for comparing the current open buffer with the HEAD version of that file. This is available in the context menu by clicking Compare With/Head Revision.

I tried to add a key binding in Preferences/General/Keys, but the key binding is ignored. I can set (and use) shortcuts for Compare with other resource and Compare with previous version, but the most useful one, Compare with HEAD Revision doesn’t work. I couldn’t find any difference between the ones that work and the ones that don’t.

I am using Eclipse Helios (3.6.2).

    It works after upgrading to EGit 2.0. I am now using Indigo (Eclipse 3.7.2).

    I can set (and use) shortcuts to Compare with HEAD and Show Annotations (blame), both of which didn’t work before.
