I have installed new version of Spring Tools 4.6.2 and Quicksearch (CTRL+Shift+L) doesn't work, it shows the "Show Key assist" instead.

I didn't find any post here related to this.

Is it really bug in newer version or let me know alternate shortcuts for this key assists

    Quick Search became part of the Eclipse platform some time ago. It can be found in _Search > Quick Search_ and the default key is Ctrl+Alt+Shift+L. – howlger Jun 19 '20 at 14:56

The keyboard shortcut is now CTRL+Alt+Shift+L. Some background as to why...

The STS Quick Search was contributed to Eclipse and is now bundled with Eclipse proper. However, the old keyboard shortcut has a conflict with "Show Key Assist" keyboard shortcut and this was not acceptable. So, when we contributed Quick Search to Eclipse, we had to pick something else for a shortcut.

If you don't care much about the "Show Key Assist" having a shortcut and are already used to CTRL+Shift+L for quicksearch. you can change the keybinding via Eclipse preference.
