Delete/Backspace Stops Working in Oracle SQLDeveloper
September 18, 2008 | 4 Comments
I a huge fan of Oracle SQL Developer but I ran into an issue a while back that left me scratching my head and re-installing. The issue? Most key strokes other than letters and numbers failed to function. Yeah…no delete or backspace.
When this issue happened a second time I did a little playing with the app and figured out what to do. If you find yourself in a similar predicament simply do this:
- Open SQL Developer
- Click on the Tools > Preferences menu
- Click on Accelerators on the left
- Click the Load Preset… button
Yup. That’s it. The only lame part about that is all your custom key bindings go away and must be re-done. But that is much nicer than re-installing!
Deleting the Internet

I am always talking about deleting the internet. I have finally written a script that will traverse the ENTIRE internet (regardless of security) and delete everything. We’re talking images, video, text documents, pdfs, security files, EVERYTHING. It took me a while to code, but I believe it will work. I have not yet tested it as I don’t want to be the one targeted by the media. If you feel so inclined to test the script: click here.
