Is there anyway that we can change the 'CTRL+SPACE'(hints for robot keywords) to other combination?

Hi, I am new to RED and used RIDE before. When I press CTRL+SPACE keys to activate hints for robot keywords an variables, my local input language will be triggered. Just want to know, is there anyway that we can change the 'CTRL+SPACE' to other combination so that it won't conflict with my input language?
I tried to search from eclipse > Window > Preferences > Keys, but failed to find 'CTRL+SPACE' for robot.

Hi,

currently RED does not use key binding from preferences. Ctrl+Space is hardcoded as for now; this combination is default and widely used by eclipse in general for presenting content assintance.

However I don't completely understand what makes the conflict in your case. Does your operating system react on Ctrl+Space in RED suites editor or is it a conflict inside your RED/eclipse installation?

Thanks for the reply, in Windows/Linux Chinese version, 'CTRL+SPACE' is the short cut to switch to Chinese inputs by default. If it is hardcoded in RED, I will change the short cut for Chinese inputs to others.

Ok, as a workaround please change your Windows settings.

It shouldn't be hard to change RED to use prefrences binding, however you'll need to wait for next release.

Changing default value for source editor tab can be done by "Content Assist" binding in Window > Preferences > Keys.
It has to be implemented for table editor tabs only.
