I'm using emacs-like key bind with RubyMine.
To close a dialog like Find Action, I have to put ESC.
Is there way to config control + g for that action?
I couldn't find the key mapping for it.
Keybinding for close is not there for now, It is implemented as popup and select+tab or unfocus (click on other item) or escape can close it.
Here is code for reference

I'm trying to be more productive with eclipse in Linux by using just the keyboard. I find relatively easy to use the shortcuts, but I struggle with popup windows. For example, when creating getters and setters, I have to press Shift + Alt + S, R, and then I have a lot of keys to access each option. Nonetheless, when I want to close the window (Accept) it seems I have to traverse all controls using Tab. Is it the case? Is there a easier way?
Thank you all
If the focus is not on a button you can use Ctrl+Enter to apply and close the dialog.
For canceling the operation hit Esc, which also closes the dialog.
This is an extremely stupid question... but how do I close/toggle the search box in vscode?
I hit [ cmd + shift + f ] to do a global search, but then I need to reach for my mouse to actually close the box to allow for more screen space.
I've searched through their issues, and there seems to be another user in the past who also experienced something similar --> https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/32613 , but the solution provided of cmd - b only works for closing the sidebar.
My developer speed has drastically dropped since this issue, and I'm certain there's been a fix.
Please help. :(

Press CTRL + SHIFT + E. It will switch to and focus the explorer.
Your search results are appearing in the panel, not the sidebar.
To toggle the panel:
pc/mac: ctrl + ` (backtick)
mac: ⌘ + J
However, if you want your search results to appear in the sidebar (which I think is the default behavior), then add this line to your settings:
"search.location": "sidebar"
Similar to what Vijey has mentioned, you can use the Toggle Panel keyboard shortcut which will do the job for me. On A mac the shortcut is
⌘ Command+J
I'm coming from sublime where the search results appear in a new tab - making it much easier to close the results (just like closing an other tab)
The best way to get rid of the search panel is by doing the following: -
On a windows computer, press and hold CTRL + Q
A window will then pop up, you can then release Q when the window pops up but you still have to hold down the CTRL key to keep the pop up open
3.Now use your mouse to click on the option called explorer and the search menu is now gone
There is no keyboard shortcut to close the search panel. However, you can create a shortcut yourself as shown in the attached image.
1) Go to File > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts.
2) Search for the command 'Close Panel' and set it to your convenient keyboard shortcut.
In the image below, I set it to Ctrl+F8.
If the search box displays in the sidebar (see Amr Noman's answer on how to set that up if it isn't already), How do you close the search box and go back to your project folders? In this case, there is no tab you can close with a click of the mouse. One way is to set up a keymap shortcut, e.g.
{
"key": "cmd+'",
"command": "workbench.files.action.showActiveFileInExplorer"
},
You can figure this out by going to Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts and searching for sidebar. One of the hits is described as "File: Reveal Active File in Side Bar"
More generally, any action that hides your project folder view in the sidebar can be cancelled by this shortcut.
When hovering over a variable, one can go straight to its definition pressing F3. But what I'm looking for is for a way to go directly to its type definition, which I'm currently doing by pressing CTRL + clicking "Open declared type".
Is there a easier way to do this?
Assign a key stroke for 'Navigate > Open Hyperlink' command via 'Preferences > Keys'. (I use F6)
Now you can use this key stroke instead of using Ctrl+Click to bring up the hyperlink popup.
Not exactly what you are looking for, but this is the best solution I think.
There is another option, using Ctrl+Shift+t. This opens a window where you can look up any type you wish. This becomes a shortcut when you highlight your target, press Ctrl+Shift+t and hit enter. Imho Ctrl+Click is still faster.
If you would like to check any other shortcuts bind keys go to Windows -> Preferences -> General -> Keys
I've always relied on a combination of ctrl+shift+t and the hover options. I never thought of the key stroke assignment. I might try mapping a scroll button click, like opening a link in a new tab.
in Windows > Preferences > Keys
search for Go to Type and assign it a ctrl-f3 or shift-f3 (there is a conflict with ctrl-f3)
I want to search a file in Eclipse. What's the shorcut to open file search dialog box?
If you want to search in files: Ctrl+H and then choose tab File Search.
If you want to search for resources: Ctrl+Shift+R.
If you want to search for Java types: Ctrl+Shift+T.
If you want more shortcut keys: Ctrl+Shift+L.
There is no default shortcut to open the "Search a File" dialog directly.
Anyway you can use CTRL + H to open the "Search Dialog".
You can also use CTRL + Shift + L to open the "Key Assist" which will show you all configured shortcuts as a kind of tooltip.
Pressing again CTRL + Shift + L in the "Key Assist", you can directly configure your own shortcuts. Enter "File Search" for the filter and simply set your own key combination.
I often search for a file and want also to open it directly. So I use the "Search for Resource" Dialog called with CTRL + Shift + R.
Use the Window->Preferences menu and select the General-Keys tab to see and change any key binding.
Shortcut for this: Press two times CTRL + Shift + L
There's also a plugin called MouseFeed that shows all keyboard shortcuts for the menu operations you do. You could even set it to prevent you from using the menu alternative and force you to use the shortcut.
A good way to help you become quicker at using Eclipse.
Edit: The domain associated with the plugin seems to be gone now and replaced with a porn site. So at this point the status of the plugin is a bit unsure :)
When I use CTRL+H I end up on the Java Search tab. I would very much like a shortcut to go directly to File Search instead. Is that possible?
See image here for what I'm talking about:
You can just define a key binding that opens the file search:
Go to Preferences > General > Keys
Type "file search" in the search box. (If there are no results, and you have a really old Eclipse version, select the Include Unbound Commands check box.)
Put the caret into the Binding text box and press the key combination you want to use:
You can either re-use the CTRL+H binding (delete the other binding in that case) or define another one (e.g. CTRL+SHIFT+H). To delete the other binding search for "Open Search Dialog" and click on Unbind Command.
Other solution: You could press CTRL+3 in your editor, type in "file s", press Enter. The next time you press CTRL+3 "File Search" is at the top.
Another option is to open the search dialog (Ctrl+H) then click customize and hide java and task search tabs, next time you do Ctrl+H, file search will be the only one showing, thus it will be selected by default
I actually think the best (and easiest way) is to simply open the search dialog (ctrl + h), hit customize, and then select the checkbox for "Remember last page used." Then tab over to the File Search once. So long as that is the last search tab you used, it will always open there. The advantage to this is that you don't lose easy access to the other tabs, should you actually need them! (working in Eclipse Kepler).
I learnt to use a "pseudo-hotkey" ALT+A F (works also as ALT+A ALT+F), which resolves to: "Menu Se[a]rch → [F]ile..." and has the advantage of being always present, without need for reconfiguration.
I've run into this problem before, too.
I tried following the advice in the question response given by #Martin to rebind Ctrl+H to "File Search" in Window | Preferences | General | Keys, but for some reason, I don't have a "File Search" entry in the Command column. (I'm running Eclipse 3.3 currently; maybe the "File Search" entry was added in a subsequent release?)
Update: As Martin pointed out in a comment on this answer, I didn't have the "Include unbound commands" checkbox checked in the Preferences | Keys dialog, which is why "File Search" wasn't showing up for me. I now have Ctrl+H bound to "File Search", as Martin suggested in his answer on this page, and it works great. Thanks Martin!
I ended up working around the original problem by bringing up the Search dialog with Ctrl+H, then clicking the Customize button on the dialog, which brings up a "Search Page Selection" dialog which allows you to hide or show tabs on the Search dialog. I hid the tabs other than "File Search," which causes "File Search" to be activated by default on future uses of Ctrl+H.
As far as I know, the search window tab depend of the open file you're on when calling the search function. So, for example if your on a web.xml file, it will open the "plug-in search" instead of the "java-search".
Edit: there is a way to force the default open tab, by assigning a shortcut to the "File Search" action in the "Keys" preference panel.
Probably this feature came recently [confirmed its there in since Juno] and looks intelligent.
Press Ctrl+H --> Customize --> [Checkbox] Remember last used page.
This way you are not far from other options if required anytime. So if you use File search often then you will not get annoyed getting what you last chose.
I would like to provide a workaround here:
you can 'remember last used page' to avoid opening it over and over again.
UPDATE: user #muescha, in the comments underneath the question, just pointed out to me that I accidentally answered the wrong question! Nevertheless, it is still a valuable answer (just not to this question), so I'm leaving it.
My answer answers the question: How do I use a hotkey directly to search for a File in Eclipse?
Ctrl + Shift + R works fantastically! Use asterisks (*) for wildcards. It is very similar to the Ctrl + P fuzzy search in Sublime Text 3.
Sample searches using the Ctrl + Shift + R "Open Resource" search in Eclipse:
rea
*.txt
*32*f1*c
*3*1*c*h
Notice if you just put an asterisk * between every character in the search string it works just like Sublime Text 3's Ctrl + P "fuzzy search"! Beautiful!
Side note: you can also use the Search --> File menu dialog to search for files.
