Eclipse jumping to function name on Ctrl-S

Question

When I press Ctrl-S to save my Java file in Eclipse it's jumping to the function name. This is very annoying. Someone know what to do about this?

I have exactly the same and none of the solutions below help. (It jumps to function "setup" and highlight all words "setup" (as if a search was done for setup). — e-motiv, Aug 30 '15 at 21:11

Go to Window->Preferences->General->Keys (you can also search for Keys in the main Preferences window). You most likely have added a binding which makes eclipse jump to the function name when you press ctrl+s.

Another place to look is Window->Preferences->Java->Code Style->Clean Up and Window->Preferences->Java->Editor->Save Actions. That is where all actions are defined which happen when you save/clean up a document.

This was really annoying problem for me also.

Solved it by going to Preferences->General->Workspace and unchecking "Refresh on access" checkbox.

Try looking at your keyboard bindings. I certainly don't have this problem on either of my Eclipse installs. You might have Ctrl-S assigned to two different actions?

I had a similar problem with Ctrl+C malfunctioning in Eclipse.

Here is a similar question regarding it.

Maybe try upgrading to the latest version if the above solutions do not work.
