As much as I like to remember as many keyboard shortcuts as possible, there's always something I don't know how to do via a keyboard shortcut. Is there an Eclipse equivalent to M-x from Emacs or Find action by name from Intellij IDEA?
How about Ctrl+Shift+L which is the shortcut for Show Key Assist.
I use Ctrl+3 a lot, which is the shortcut for quick access popup, where you can type the name of any view, perspective or open editor to open/switch to that, or the name of an action to run it. By the way, you can see if your choose have a shortcut assigned when selecting.
Note: this is on Ubuntu, may be slightly different on a Mac.
Also you can try Quick Assist by pressing Ctrl+3

Is it possible to have IntelliJ/Cursive display a pop-up with s-form's definition and documentation when that s-form is hovered over with a mouse, like it's done in Eclipse? Ctrl+Q seems to bring up the window, but I'd like for it to open up automatically without me hitting a shortcut. Is this a configurable setting or something? Also, what is a similar key combination to bring up a source pop-up?
Thank you in advance.
No, there's no way to do this automatically on hover. You can see the source pop-up using View->Quick Definition - the keybinding will depend on the keymap and platform you're using. The keybinding should be shown in the menu, otherwise you can search for "Quick Definition" in Settings->Keymap.
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.
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.
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.
