ctrl-shift-T not always opening type in eclipse neon

I use the Ctrl+Shift+T keystroke in eclipse quite often, and in Neon it has stopped working some of the time.

I have been to the Window / Preferences / Open Type entry and deleted the Ctrl+Shift+T for JavaScript (though I don't think that should be necessary, it was recommended).

I have verified that this behavior happens in .txt and .xml windows in both Java and "Web" perspectives. It operates correctly if I have a Java file open in the editor, but I really want it to open when I'm looking at an XML file, since that often leads to wanting to look at Java source.

I also found a reference to going to one of the .metadata directories and deleting all the .index files and one other file (don't remember which now), then restarting eclipse. I did that, and it made no difference.

Is this a bug, so I should report it? Does anyone else see this behavior? Does anyone have another suggestion as a workaround? I'm quite keyboard-oriented, and this is a pain in the neck.

I've met the similar situation before, here is a solution,

left click the xml file---open with---xml editor

Using the eclipse's default xml editor may helps,I guess you've installed a plugin to open the xml file,so the problem may cause by the plugin,if you really want to use plugin to edit xml file,maybe you can try another plugin
