What is the short cut in eclipse to terminate debugging/running?

Question

What is the shortcut in eclipse to terminate debugging/running? Looking under Preferences -> Keys says Ctrl + F2 but it doesn\'t work.

Answer 1

F2 could be already used by your Operating System, which can intercept the keystroke before Eclipse gets a chance.

On macs, the F2 key is often used to increase the screen brightness. This will take precedence over anything that Eclipse will assign it. Translation: when you hit F2 on some macs (depending on your settings), your screen will (try to) brighten, and Eclipse will do nothing.

Hope that helps.
