Been using Eclipse for years in Windows and when I do a Find/Replace I use keyboard combinations like alt+d for and alt+n for "Replace next"/"Find next". On Mac there doesn't seem to be a way to do this quickly by keyboard. I have to Tab around to the button I want which is generally slower than using the mouse. How can have a direct keyboard shortcut to do this?

I hate it, too.

I'm looking for a comprehensive, Mac OSX-specific, Eclipse keyboard shortcuts 'Cheatsheet'. In other words I need a one page document highlighting Eclipse keyboard shortcuts using an Apple keyboard.
I've been able to find some abbreviated eclipse cheatsheets for a MAC (less than 40 shortcuts) and I've been able to find a multitude of PC-specific keyboard cheat sheets for Eclipse. Please do not reply with a PC keyboard cheatsheet or a mac cheatsheet with less than 40 shortcuts.
Thanks
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.
Is there any shortcut for maximizing the tab you are working on in Eclipse? Assume I am working on part of a code and I want to maximize the tab not using the double click on it with the mouse, does anyone know a way?
CtrlM will maximize/restore the editor area.
If you can't remember all shortcuts, then just learn CtrlShiftL. That will show a list of available shortcuts.
Some more shortcuts can be found on external sites.
I've noticed that Ctrl+Backspace/Option+Delete doesn't delete the word to the left of cursor in the MATLAB editor, as it does in many (most?) other editors and programs. This is intensely annoying, as I often will want to change a function name or small section of code. Currently I am forced to hold shift, use option+left, and then press delete to perform what should be a two keystroke operation.
Is there a way to enable it, or is a similar shortcut available? I found this unanswered question on MATLAB Central, but no further joy.
Edit:
Running R2010a on OSX
Are you on R2010b?
At least on Windows, this is supported starting in R2010b. All the keyboard shortcuts are in File > Preferences, under Keyboard > Shortcuts. Type "word" in the search bar (the text field just above the list of actions) to see the word-level actions. In R2010b, but not earlier versions, there is a "Remove Previous Word" action, and in Windows it's bound by default to Ctrl+Backspace. Sounds like you're using Mac, too; I don't know what the default binding is there.
So, upgrade to R2010b, and maybe adjust the bindings under Keyboard > Shortcuts in Preferences.
This and some other keyboard shortcuts work in the editor but not in the command window. I don't know why. You might want to request that as an enhancement from MathWorks if you want it in the command window, too.
I use Eclipse with Dvorak-QWERTY Commands (a Mac option). I am running OS 10.6. But when I press the command key, it does not revert back to the QWERTY keyboard but instead stays as Dvorak. This makes keyboard shortcuts a lot harder to use. How can I fix this problem?
If Eclipse (or other program) supports remapping keyboard shortcuts, you can just go to remap the shortcut to the same physical key that originally was in QWERTY while your keyboard is in Dvorak, so it looks like the same shortcut but is actually mapped to a different key.
Otherwise, I'd just take the time to learn the shortcuts in Dvorak. It may be a pain at first but you'll be one more step towards being QWERTY-independent.
