Posted 20 May 2009 in Oracle

I use SQL Developers for my development work. All of a sudden, the Backspace key, CTRL key, Delete key and other function keys stopped working in the SQL worksheet. I don’t remember doing anything out of ordinary, but those keys stopped working. I then Googled and found a solution. All you have to do is click on Tools menu – select Preferences, click on Accelerators on the left side, click on Load Preset button on the right, select Default (screenshot below), click OK and click OK again to close the preference window. All keys should work fine now.

    It really works. Your blog was the first displayed in the results list (after a google search that took about 0.31 seconds) It should always be like that :) Merci beaucoup !
