I continue to rave about IBM's Eclipse based IDE, WSAD.
Here are the shortcut keys I use most. One of the big tricks with WSAD/Eclipse is learning the shortcut keys, because they don't appear in the right-click menu. Most I've learnt by inspecting the menubar, others from the documentation, but many have come by watching over the shoulder of my colleagues. Here are the ones I use the most.
Key | Description |
---|---|
Ctrl+Shift+O | Organise Imports |
Ctrl+Shift+M | Import type under cursor |
Ctrl+Shift+F | Format Code |
F3 | Open declaration |
F4 | Open hierarchy |
Ctrl+Shift+G | Show all references |
Ctrl+Shift+U | Show references in this file |
Ctrl+Q | Goto last modified editor position |
Alt+Left,Alt+Right | Goto prev/next editor position in history |
Alt+Shift+M | Extract Method |
Alt+Shift+R | Rename method/variable |
Ctrl+L | Goto Line number |
Ctrl+O | Pop-up Outline |
Ctrl+Space | Complete whatever you're typing. |
(These all work from the Java perspective, and some work in other perspectives too.)
So, what shortcut keys do you use? Have I missed any of your favourites?
