Most of Java developers are using eclipse and its been quite trivial to know and remember all the shortcuts during the development time. And of course we don’t need all of them. I have been collecting some shortcuts based on the user frequent experiences and the way they develop software. Following TOP 10 Eclipse Shortcuts helps everyone in their happy day coding.
- Ctrl + Shift + O : Organize imports
- Ctrl + Shift + T : Open Type
- Ctrl + Shift + F4 : Close all Opened Editors
- Ctrl + O : Open declarations
- Ctrl + E : Open Editor
- Ctrl + / : Line Comment
