- In the Java editor, if you see an error underlined with a squiggly line, position the caret inside the underlined range and do one of the following
  - Press `Ctrl+1` or
  - From the menu bar, select Edit > Quick Fix
- A list of suggested corrections is presented, with a preview displayed when an entry is selected.
- Select an entry form the list and press `Enter`.

If you have the Window > Preferences > Java > Editor > Annotations > Indicate annotations solvable with Quick Fix in vertical ruler checkbox selected, then light bulb icons appear on the left-hand side vertical ruler to indicate Quick Fix'able problems. You can then click on one of the the light bulb icons to invoke Quick Fix.

Note: Occasionally, invoking Quick Fix will not suggest any corrections. A message saying 'No suggestions available' will be displayed in such cases.
