CTRL + SHIFT + F not working

[John Davis]

I configured a custom template for formatting braces where new line was selected for all items. I clicked the apply button. I have existing code with braces which are on the same line. When I try CTRL + SHIFT + F nothing happens, I do not get a new line for the braces. I am running Eclipse 3.3.2. How can I get existing code formatted (with respect to new line for braces and braces aligned and indented correctly?

I read the style guide but did not find any text which could help me to format EXISTING CODE with braces on the same line yielding code with braces on a new line properly indented and aligned. CTRL + SHIFT + F does nothing for me currently.

Check the project properties and make sure that the project does not have an explicit format stylesheet set.

Also, there is a formatting option to format only added/changed code, make sure that is not set.

Also, try using the menu to reformat (just in case someone changed the keyboard shortcut).
