Can't type "@" in ABAP Editor

Hi all,

I currently have a problem that really drives me crazy. On my keyboard the "@" is located at <ALT GR>-<Q>.

However, whenever I try to type a @ in the ABAP editor nothing happens. With the new OPEN SQL requiring to prefix host variables with an @ this is particularly annoying.

Does anyone here know how to solve this issue?

Hi all,

once I posted the question I immediately found the solution.

Eclipse interprets <ALT GR> as the combination <CTRL>+<ALT>. Searching for the combination <CTRL>+<ALT>+<Q> in the key mappings section of the preference pane I notices that this key combination had been bound to some command. In my case this was a key mapping introduced by the clojure plugin.

Once I removed the key mapping from the preference pane and restarted eclipse I was able to type @ again.
