How to quickly find a file in the workspace / switch between buffers / etc. in eclipse?

I am looking for something like a fuzzy Textmate search in Command-T, FuzzyFinder in Vim or Ido in Emacs. He exists? If not, how do you prefer to do this?

CTRL + SHIFT + r will search each for any "resource" (file) anywhere in your project.

CTRL + SHIFT + e will look for a specific open file (i.e. your buffers)

CTRL + SHIFT + PageUp / PageDown will move to the next / previous open buffer

CTRL + SHIFT + Left / Right will move back / forward in the browsing history

(for example, if you switched from tab 1 to tab 5 to tab 2, and then press CTRL + SHIFT + Left , you will return to tab 5, you can press CTRL + SHIFT + Left to return to tab 1 or ... + Right to return to tab 2)

Hope this helps.

Ctrl+3 provides a contextual text search between editors, commands, and preferences. I just discovered this recently - not sure if this was a new feature with Eclipse 3.5.

You can use the plugin GotoFile . Type Ctrl + Alt + N to use. Works with Eclipse Juno.

Ctrl+Shift+R works for files, Ctrl+Shift+T for types. Still looking for an answer for buffers.
