Eclipse – Using Ctrl-tab requires pressing the enter key in Eclipse

eclipse

I went into Window->Preferences->General->Keys in Eclipse to map Ctrl+Tab to "Previous Editor". At first it worked just like Visual Studio's Ctrl+Tab..I can switch the last file I was editing. Now, for some reason, Eclipse will not switch to the previous file after I release the Ctrl key. Instead, I have to press Enter after releasing the Ctrl key. It's very annoying.

Does anyone know how I can have Eclipse switch to the previous file by just pressing Ctrl+Tab?

Thanks

You're looking for this: Eclipse's Visual Studio Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab Equivalent.

By pressing Ctrl+F6 you get the behaviour (I think) you're looking for. On Window->Preferences->General->Keys you could switch the key binding to Ctrl+Tab.
