In a customer workshop I came across an issue when trying to show the Content Assist (Ctrl+Space).

It did not work and I noticed that the language settings were Chinese.

My first thought was that this was just a wrong setting so we switched the language settings to German.

Searching for Ctrl+Space and Chinese delivered several results such as the following

Since it wasn't possible to change the language settings on all clients (it simply did not work on all) we changed the short-key for the Content Assist in Eclipse from Ctrl+Space to Shift+Ctrl+Space.

To do so, from the menu in ADT choose Window -> Preferences and then General -> Keys

Here you can change the binding from Ctrl+Space to another combination, for example Ctrl+Shift+Space

You can enter "Content Assist" as a search string. Click into the text box described with "Binding" and press the three keys Ctrl+Shift+Space. And then the button "Apply":
