I want a shortcut(e.g ctrl+o) only active in package explorer view，so that I can use this shortcut in the main java editor view of another purpose(open quick outline view).
I know there is a way in the shortcut setting that I can set the shortcut only active in some context.
But actually I can't find the selection which named package explorer in when setting in the shortcut setting(the image below),so is there any other way I can solve this problem?
Eclipse keybindings can be customized in General > Keys preference page.
Key bindings can vary based on the current context of Eclipse. It is possible to assign the same shortcut to different parts of Eclipse.

I'm trying to set autocomplete functionality in spyder editor to Tab via
Tools --> preference --> KeyBoardShortcuts.
in the popup, window tab is used as the toggle switch. so i cant set the Tab as shortcut key. please help to set Tab as autocomplete key.
(Spyder maintainer here) The Tab key is defined by default to get completions in the Editor, so you don't need to set it through our Preferences.
Besides, this functionality is hard-coded in our source code, so you can't reassign Tab to something else.
On the Eclipse setup I am about to work with there is no Window element in the top menu, therefore I cannot change the menu visibility (under the Customize perspective submenu).
Which Eclipse config file stores this information?
If you have the Quick Access search bar at the top of the workbench window you can type Customize Perspective there to access the settings. Otherwise you can pop up the Quick Search by pressing Ctrl+3.
What are the shortcuts for the context menu actions "Team -> Synchronize with Repository" and "Team -> Update" on the whole project?
I have already found shortcuts, but these are executed only on the file i have currently opened. But I want to execute it on the whole project without having to scroll the project explorer to the top and right-clicking on the project.
If there are no such shortcuts, how can I create them?
As john.k.doe indicates, that's the right solution, but you also need to do something else in order to make the shortcut actually work, which is go to Window > Customize Perspective > Command Groups Availability and there just check the SVN box ;)
you can almost always get the key shortcuts you want by
go to preferences type "keys" or go to General -> Keys
in the field presented when you click on "Keys"
in the left pane, type the command you are interested in setting up a shortcut for:
the image below is from my mac, but it works the same way on windows/linux, you just might choose something besides Cmd-Y as your shortcut modifier. the U under User indicates that i was the one to add that modification.
I have written a small Eclipse plug-in which selects the active project in the Package Explorer so you can execute other actions (like 'Sync with repo' and 'Update') on it. I think this approach is more flexible compared to writing a plug-in that selects the project and executes a predefined action.
You can get the plug-in at http://code.google.com/a/eclipselabs.org/p/eclipse-tweaks/downloads/list, it is named "com.xakcop.select". Download it and put it in the dropins/ folder of your Eclipse installation. Then when you restart Eclipse, you will find a new command Select project in Windows->Preferences->Keys. The default key binding is Ctrl+Shift+Backspace but you can change it to whatever you want.
When you are in the Java editor just press Ctrl+Shift+Backspace, this will select the project that the current file belongs to in Package Explorer. Then press the shortcut for "Synchronize with repository" and you are done.
The source code of the plug-in is also available as part of my eclipse-tweaks project: http://code.google.com/a/eclipselabs.org/p/eclipse-tweaks/source/browse/com.xakcop.select
I think the answer to this question adresses the issue.
The quickest way I've found to update/synchronize, after having set the shortcut keys, is to click on the minimize button in the Project/Package Explorer and then press the keys. After the update, simply clicking on the last used file in the editor returns to the previous workspace state (provided the "Link with Editor" button in Project Explorer is selected).
I should clarify: I use a working set for each project. The working sets are displayed as default Top Level Elements in the Package Explorer so, by clicking on the minimize button the desired Project' working set, they collapse and are easy to select. Then, I apply the shortcut on the selected working set.
From my point of view, the problem is the focus of the commands you execute.
The Team commands Snychronize and Update are executed on the current object (In my case). As you noticed, when you execute the command on the project, the project is synchonized - when you do it on a file, only the file is synchronized.
What I did as workaround is the following:
I created Key-Bindings for the commands Show in (Navigator) (Alt-N), Go to (Alt-G), and Show View (Naviator) (CTRL+SHIFT+Q, N).
With Alt-N I show the current File in the Navigator. I can then use the keys to navigate to the root that I want to synchronize (it's not always the whole project for me). If the root is to far away I use Alt-G and type the Project or Folder where I want to go to and execute afterwards the Synchronize commands.
(Go to works only in the current view)
If you have selected the Project once you just have to switch to the navigator (Show View command) and execute your synchronize commands.
You could also use rgerganov's plugin then you would not have to execute as many commands.
The procedure works also with other views (package explorer, project explorer)
What about this approach? It should also work for other SCM's or commands you want to execute on any object in the explorer views.
I'm after a feature in eclipse that allows me to allocate a shortcut to a line (say line number 55) then go somewhere else in the same file and hit the shortcut then IDE shows me the line 55. I have used this feature in Delphi IDE. Using CNTL + number keys[1,2,...,0] a shortcut to line where the curser is will be created. This shortcut only has effect within the editor and each opened file would have its own shortcuts.
Is there such a feature in eclipse? Is there any plugins out there which adds this feature to eclipse?

By default there is no shortcut defined for this task.
I use to define my shortcuts in Eclipse in "Windows/Preferences/General/Keys" type bookmark in the filter text and select the commands you want to define the shortcuts.
My current shortcuts are:
Alt+Shift+B, Alt+Shift+A: Add Bookmark;
Alt+Shift+B, Alt+Shift+V: Show View (BookMarks);
But, I agree, still is not fast as the Delphi predefined shortcuts.
Update 1:
This plugin (or its sucessor) seems to offer the option. From their site:
Add a numbered bookmark at the cursor: Alt>+[digit]. This creates a
quick bookmark with the specified number using a "single" keypress.
Only one bookmark of the given number can be present in the workspace.
Setting the same number bookmark again will clear the earlier
instance.
Goto a numbered bookmark: Alt+Shift+[digit]. Moves to the bookmark as
it was set using Alt+[digit].
Update 2:
Tested (Eclipse Indigo) and it worked like a charm.
You can add Bookmarks to the code fragments you think are important to you in eclipse.
I referred this link for the same purpose.
When I'm in Mac OS X, I'm able to switch tabs in my browsers and in TextMate using a Command- keybinding. If I want to go to the first tab, I use Command-1, second tab Command-2, etc.
Is there a key binding in Eclipse based IDEs that will support this same functionality?
While using eclipse on OSX, for switching tabs use the following shortcut
Ctrl + fn + Up Cursor Key for moving towards left tab
Ctrl + fn + Down Cursor Key for moving towards right tab
Here Ctrl is not Command, it is Ctrl just like other OS.
Eclipse doesn't support a tab-index-based navigation. The default editor switch key binding as noted by other responders is CTRL+F6. You can configure this to your liking (Window > Preferences > Keys: Next Editor).
Another way to switch between editors is to use CTRL+E. This presents a dialog with all open editors. You can type in the name of the one in which you are interested. This comes in handy when you have numerous open editor tabs (and Eclipse has hidden tabs it is unable to show).
As far as know the only way to switch between tabs in eclipse is CTRL+F6 and CTRL/PAGEUP, CTRL/PAGEDOWN .
In OsX CTRL become CMD .
If you want to support the OSX based approach for a TabFolder, you will have to implement this yourself. E.g via an installed KeyListener on the tab folder.
If you want to implement this for the editors in the editor area of an Eclipse based IDE, you can do it via a new command with bindings for M1+1 to M1+9... but... please note that M1+1 is usually bound to "quick fix", M1+2 is bound to "quick assist", M1+3 is bound to "quick access", etc... So you will have a conflict...
