Press ctrl + shift + l it will open shortcut key menu.
Note:-
Beside this also some other short cut will available. If you tell us functionality you wanna access we can tell you the short cut for it.

I am using win7 and eclipse with Aptana plugin for trying some examples on Ruby. But I can't figure out how to add Alt + Space as a shortcut in Eclipse (I want to add it to complete already defined variables). The issue is that when I try to add that combination (Eclipse reads the keys clicked) and the menu window appears in the top left -> it is shown when you hit the Alt key.
Does anyone has a hint how to add the shortcut?
I found similar post, but don't know how and where to add the code there.
Autohotkey, remap Left Alt + Space to Control + Escape
In Eclipse, the code-completion shortcut is Ctrl+Space (it's called Content Assist in Eclipse lingo). Is that what you're looking for?
I'm pretty sure it can be mapped to a different keyboard combination. Open Preferences and navigate to General > Keys and then search for the Content Assist command to re-map.
When I'm in Mac OS X, I'm able to switch tabs in my browsers and in TextMate using a Command- keybinding. If I want to go to the first tab, I use Command-1, second tab Command-2, etc.
Is there a key binding in Eclipse based IDEs that will support this same functionality?
While using eclipse on OSX, for switching tabs use the following shortcut
Ctrl + fn + Up Cursor Key for moving towards left tab
Ctrl + fn + Down Cursor Key for moving towards right tab
Here Ctrl is not Command, it is Ctrl just like other OS.
Eclipse doesn't support a tab-index-based navigation. The default editor switch key binding as noted by other responders is CTRL+F6. You can configure this to your liking (Window > Preferences > Keys: Next Editor).
Another way to switch between editors is to use CTRL+E. This presents a dialog with all open editors. You can type in the name of the one in which you are interested. This comes in handy when you have numerous open editor tabs (and Eclipse has hidden tabs it is unable to show).
As far as know the only way to switch between tabs in eclipse is CTRL+F6 and CTRL/PAGEUP, CTRL/PAGEDOWN .
In OsX CTRL become CMD .
If you want to support the OSX based approach for a TabFolder, you will have to implement this yourself. E.g via an installed KeyListener on the tab folder.
If you want to implement this for the editors in the editor area of an Eclipse based IDE, you can do it via a new command with bindings for M1+1 to M1+9... but... please note that M1+1 is usually bound to "quick fix", M1+2 is bound to "quick assist", M1+3 is bound to "quick access", etc... So you will have a conflict...
I'm using Eclipse 3.6.1 on Mac Os.
In an earlier Version of Eclipse I hat a lot of nice refactoring shortcuts like:
Command + Alt + M extract method
Command + Alt + I inline
Lately if I press Command + Alt + M; I insert µ instead of extracting a method and Command + Alt + I; inserts ^. The shortcuts are also not shown in the refactoring menu anymore.
Those missing shortcuts really slow me down.
I think the shortcuts are not shown/active because the native Mac OS shortcuts take precedence.
How can I re enable those shortcuts?
UPDATE
I just installed Eclipse Indigo and the Shortcuts are missing again. I use them all the time and replacing code with µ all the time is very very annoying.
Has anybody encountered this problem as well?
In general, you can use the Command + Shift + L shortcut in any given editor to see a list of available keyboard shortcut... and a second Command + Shift + L will display a popup with all possible shortcuts in your Eclipse (can be filtered for "extract method" for example).
That would at least allow you to see the current shortcut for any given action.
If you go in Preferences... -> General -> Keys, search for the description of the action that doesn't work in the list. Once selected, look whether there's a conflict (in the conflict list below). There's a chance there's a conflicting shortcut set up for another action (possibly by another plugin).
Once you've identified the other conflicting action, look for it in the list: you can then either unbind it completely or change it scope (in the When drop-down list) to restrict it to a particular plugin for example.
Do you use Aptana plugin, or any other plugins? In my case I was able to bring shortcuts back by uninstalling Aptana.
I just did a clean install of the 64bit version of Eclipse and the shortcuts reappeared.
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
Does anybody know a way to create a keyboard shortcut for the button 'Expand All' in the Synchronize view? Or is it possible to have the tree autoexpand on startup?
I just tried this in Eclipse 3.0, but it may work for other versions too:
Simply press the × multiply key on your keypad on the right.
Don't try the * asterisk key, that doesn't work.
And be careful not to do this on a high level project with many nodes to expand, since it will take forever to expand them all.
If you are os OSX, the hotkey is ALT+RIGHT_ARROW. Collapse all is ALT+LEFT_ARROW, accordingly.
The Eclipse preference's key list says CMD-SHIFT-NumPad* but that doesn't work for me.
See Is there way to expand all folders in Eclipse project view and search results?
The default key shortcut for "Expand All" seems to be Ctrl + Shift + * (numpad multiply), according to the preferences in General -> Keys.
