Does anyone know what the redo keyboard shortcut for Eclipse is?
I'm using Linux Mint based on Ubuntu and do all my programming there. I noticed Eclipse supports C, Java, PHP, HTML, Python. I code in all of these languages so I thought it'd be a nice IDE to use, but the redo shortcut is really important to me. I just use Ctrl+Shift+Z for redo in gedit, but it does not work on Eclipse.
In Eclipse go to:
Window > Preferences > General > Keys
In the keys, scroll down to redo and make it what you want.
Here is documentation.
Here is a screenshot:

I have been trying to scroll half-page down/up within Eclipse (in Windows). Checked key-bindings but found nothing there. Is this possible in Eclipse with a short cut key? If it is not possible then can I integrate this with a plugin?
Out of the box, there is no defined function that will scroll up/down a half page. I'm not aware of a plugin that provides this. One plugin that provides several functions related to navigation (and many others) is Emacs+, but that also does not provide any "half-page" navigation options.
Self answering after a long time.
This is possible with Vrapper (Vim-like) plugin for Eclipse. It is basically bringing Vim environment in Eclipse but without breaking any existing Eclipse functionality.
Same shortcuts in Vim is valid also for this plugin.
CTRL+D is half-page down.
CTRL+U is half-page up.
Before using Vrapper keyboard shortcuts, make sure you unbind those keys from Eclipse.
I'm pretty new to Eclipse because I'm starting to learn Java Programming. I'm having problem with the editor.
I'm running Eclipse on an iMac with a German keyboard. The keyboard shortcut for "Redo" action is Cmd+Shift+Z.
When I use this shortcut, a tiny window in the right down corner pops up and asks if I want "Inspect" or "Redo"...
In the preferences, I have three different "Inspect", (just one was with a shortcut, but it was something like Cmd+Shift+I). Anyway, I erased it to be sure.
Afterwards I tried again, but the same little window asks me for Insect or Redo. Now I don't know what to do.
I'm having the same problem with Cmd+R ("Run" action). For "Run" there is another keyboard binding.
In Eclipse preferences, I could not find both commands that are on the same shortcuts. Or better I found them but they are separate.
Go to the Keyboard shortcuts preferences :
Eclipse > Preferences > General > Keys
and unbind or rebind whatever is giving you trouble.
In your case, go to Inspect and remove the binding for Cmd+Shift+Z.
In some cases, removing the binding for a key command will remove all bindings for it so after you do so, check out Redo and make sure it is still tied to the command.
Eclipse 4.2 seem has some built-in shortcuts, such as Ctrl+P, Alt+C, Alt+X etc, you can not find them from "Window->preferences->General->Keys". I'd like to re-define these shortcuts, e.g. bind Alt+X to run maven build, but when i press Alt+X, at the bottom right corner of Eclipse, it flashes quickly and my mouse is out of control, i think this is because of shortcut conflict.
Anyone who know how to disable the built-in shortcuts? Thanks.
Edit:
Ctrl+p is only bind to one action.
When i click Ctrl+p, the bottom right corner show, this message is from from eclipse:
Well, the above is the good situation--at least you can choose which action to run. for Alt+P, Alt+c you have no chance to choose, eclipse is flipping and you are out of control.
Are you certain there isn't something in your OS or another application that is handling those keyboard triggers? If you assign a keyboard shortcut in Eclipse's Preferences, it will indicate when there is a conflict; if you don't see that, then it's not an Eclipse shortcut.
I found the root cause of this problem, i import all my keys from Eclipse 3.7 to 4.2, most of them works, however some of them conflict but Eclipse fails to show the conflict shortcuts, Let's say, Ctrl+P, this is print shortcut for eclipse by default, in eclipse 3.7 i bind Ctrl+p to another command, after import, eclipse 4.2 shows just like 3.7(see above), however in fact it still has conflict even though it does not show the conflict. I think this might be an eclipse bug. I'm the one who use shortcut extensively. Hope this help others with migrating shortcuts.
I am using Eclipse to program Android apps and I love how the little helper box thing comes up when you start to type and suggests things to you.
However, this only happens sporadically and I was wondering if there was a way to keep it visible for longer or, even better, a key combo I could press to bring it up. If I start to type something, it either helps me by suggesting things or doesn't appear.
Try Ctrl+Space. The feature is known as "content assist," "code completion," "auto-complete." In the Visual Studio world, I think it's called "Intellisense."
If you want the suggestions to appear immediately (I prefer this) you can change the delay by going to Window → Preferences → Java → Editor → Content Assist and change the Auto activation delay to 0. In my version of Eclipse (Helios for Java EE), that field is third from the bottom.
An easier way of finding this preference screen is to use the search box in the upper-left-hand corner of the prefs (as before, Window → Preferences), and typing completion. From there you can see all of the different content assist preferences that Eclipse offers. Mine has Java, JavaScript, CSS, HTML, JSP, and XML - most of those because I'm using a fancier version of Eclipse.
By default, when writing Java code, the . (period) key triggers auto-activation of content assist. You can change this setting in the same screen as the auto-activation delay.
I think its Control+Space for Code completion. Try that
Also go easy with the code completion popup delay. Dont set it to 0, i remember a strange behaviour in Eclipse where there was no popup at all.
Ctrl+Space is the shortcut for Content Assist.
Ctrl+1 is the shortcut for Quick Fix.
Ctrl+2 is the shortcut for a menu of Quick Assists. (Ctrl+2, F is the shortcut for Quick Assist - Assign to var/field, and in place of F you can also type L or R for other options.)
To see and/or modify available shortcuts you can go to Window > Preferences > General > Keys.
I am newbie of using Netbeans and i have Netbeans 6.5 on XP. So, here is my problem: when i am working on Netbeans and switch to an another task and then come back later, editor of the Netbeans losts the focus and the menubar gains it. I don't want to press ALT key again to re-focus on the editor. I made some search on help contents of the Netbeans and google and i couldn't find any solution. Have any of you got an idea to solve this problem? By the way, i am sorry about my unfluent English. Have a nice day!
Try Ctrl-0. It should set the focus to the editor window. There are several focus-related keyboard shortcuts. Look through the Window menu for the shortcuts to the different windows.
What you're looking for is this thread. I ended up using a different look-and-feel, but updating your JDK might just help, too.
