I'm working in STS 3.1.0, and I use the Search->Text->Project menu item a lot (and workspace, file as well). I've looked through the Command Availability options, menu options and such. I don't see a way to add this command to either the toolbar or better, a keyboard shortcut.
Here's what I'm talking about:
Am I missing something or is it not possible?
If you are using STS 3.3 or later version - you can just do (CTRL+SHIFT+L or CMD+SHIFT+L on Mac) opens the below dialog from any context and get instant search results.
Go to preferences (cmd+, on mac as far I remember) then General>Keys and search for the action you need to add the keybinding.
Here is a snapshot of the keys that might interest you

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.
Is there any keyboard shortcut key for navigating to the next error (red markers created in error stripe) in Netbeans editor?
As of NetBeans 8 there doesn't appear to be a way to navigate through errors exclusively in the editor. If you look at tools->options->keymap an action does exist for this (next error in editor), but the shortcut is blank. I set it to Alt+E on my IDE, this will navigate through all annotations - not just errors. So if you don't mind cycling through all hints, warnings errors, etc, this will work.
The closest I've been able to get for navigating specifically through errors is using the action items window. Add a filter for errors, then you can use Ctrl+. and Ctrl+, to navigate through the list (see How to display all compile errors in Netbeans as a task list?).
That would be Ctrl-Period ::: (Period means .)

Add the Action Items window to your IDE. This lists all of your errors and is dynamic, so will be updated when you save.
From the menu bar: Window->Action Items.
(Took me forever to understand why when I would save, I wouldn't see any compile errors, but then it wouldn't run.)
Actually question is about "next error in editor". At least in my configuration (NetBeans profile) this function doesn't have any shortcut by default so if you go to Tools->Options->Keymap and in search field you write "Next Error in Editor" you can add any shortcut that fits the best to you
On a Mac things are different and there is no keyboard shortcut for navigating to a usage/compile error as far as I can tell.
You can go to Help -> Keyboard Shortcuts Card to see the full list of short cuts for your platform.
See https://netbeans.org/kb/articles/mac.html for info for macs and https://usersguide.netbeans.org/shortcuts.pdf for the default shortcuts for PCs.
No. there is no good and easy way on keyboard.
just clicking on those red marks (by mouse) is the fastest way. (it's not an easy/good way. but the best possible.)
I would like to ask if there exists some functionality in eclipse where it's possible to choose all available commands, instead of having to remember all the shortcuts.
Something like the command palette in sublime text 2. Where you by pressing ctrl+shift+p (windows/linux) get an input popup box where all availble commands can be choosen.
Does such a feature exists for eclipse, or should I develop it by myself?
Thanks in advance.
I just bumped into this feature by accident but looking up to see if I figure how to get to it. it looked like it popped up when I started typing after having launched eclipse without focusing on any particular view... more to come as soon as I find out for sure.
EDIT: Apparently when you first launch Eclipse the focus is on the "Quick Action" search box on the top right of the tool bar and that's where you can start typing command names for it to list and let you pick in good Sublime Text style. Not sure how to shortcut into the box other than clicking it, but apparently there's the feature.
EDIT#2: http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/EclipseShortcuts/article.html#shortcuts_overview describes Ctrl+3 as being the shortcut to get there, on the Mac it translates to Cmd+3.
I haven't been able to find anything, so I have started on developing my own plugin.
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 want to be able to switch from one file to another in the Eclipse editor (in the Java perspective) from the keyboard (and bind those key combinations to buttons on my mouse). What are the shortcut keys for switching the current tab to the next or previous?
Mac OS X:
Fn+Cntrl+↑
Fn+Cntrl+↓
Effectively Cntrl+page up/page down as given in the first comment for #wibbe01's answer.
According to this thread, switching editors are:
Shift+Command+F6
Command+F6
, which you can remap to:
Shift+Command+Tab
Command+Tab
Note, as mentioned in that same thread:
Command+E lists all the opened editors, allowing to quickly select one
Shift+Command+L lists all the active key bindings.
The bug 86248 helped introduced the Cntrl+↑ and Cntrl+↓, which Bjorn Tipling reports working on Mac with a Fn in front of it.
If I were you I would just go to the eclipse menu, then preferences. Under the general section of the tree there is a section called "Keys" In there you will find things for "Next Editor" or whatever other keyboard shortcuts you are looking for. Map them to what makes sense to you....then you're happy like this :) or maybe even like this :D.
Enjoy.
In Eclipse's preference panel, go to Keys. The command is called Next Tab and Previous Tab, just map these to whatever you want. In my case since I normally use mvim are:
⌘+⇧+[
⌘+⇧+]
You can change all shortcut keys in preferences by pressing ctrl+shift+L 2 times . Switching tab in Eclipse (ctrl+F6) is not easy to press. So you can make it ctrl+tab or whatever you want.
Since I have my F keys mapped to the default setting, I had to use fn-command-F8
I figured it out by first confirming command-F8 was indeed mapped under command-shift-L
