Answer 8

Here is a list of the ones I use most often (excluding those from previous answers):

• Ctrl + Shift + N - adds an include statement; The included header file is the one in which the current item is declared in

• Ctrl + i - corrects the indentation of the selected text - very useful, in my opinion,

• Ctrl + d - delete the current line

• Alt + ↑ / ↓ - moves the selected text (or the current line if no text is selected) up or down

• Alt + ← / → - go to the previous / next place that you edited; for example, if you are viewing multiple function declarations and then want to return to where you started, press Alt + ← to go to previous locations.

• Ctrl + h - opens the search dialog box; the C / C ++ Search tab searches indexed locations and is fast, but the File Search tab looks through all the text in your projects and can come in handy when you are looking for a “hidden” element (for example, when searching for a macro defined in #ifdef _WINDOWS, but _WINDOWS is not currently defined in your project)

Answer 9

Ctrl + O : opens a member browser of the current class, which allows you to quickly open the method.

Answer 10

CTRL + B : create all projects

CTRL + F11 : execute

F11 : Debugging

Note. The above shortcuts apply to the whole version of eclipse

---

Manual links from Preferences> General> Keys

ALT + B : Build Project (current active project)

Answer 11

You need to change the default bindings to get them, but I like:

F3 : Open announcement.

F4 : Find the text in the project.

F4 is self-explanatory, but F3 has some subtleties: if you use it in a function call, it will lead you to a definition, and if you use it in a definition, it will lead you to a declaration.

Answer 12

Ctrl + Shift + G : When a function, object or var: is selected, find all occurrences in the project (works also with java).

Ctrl + Alt + G : Text search for the selected text.

Ctrl + left click: go to the element definition.

Answer 13

Ctrl + Page Up : go to the next source file opened as a tab

Ctrl + Page Down : go to the previous file

Answer 14

Ctrl + j : incremental search in current file

Ctrl + / (numeric keypad): outline - resets all functions - for quick viewing

Answer 15

Ctrl + Shift + f : this auto-indent code

Answer 16

Ctrl + Shift + { opens a parallel editor for the same source file.

Answer 17

Ctrl + k : search forward for selected text in a file.

Ctrl + Shift + k : search back for selected text in a file

Answer 18

Alt + Shift + T : Selected Method: Switch between inline, out of class in .h and out of class in .cpp

Answer 19

In the closest way, I get Eclipse for J2EE when creating classes, this is (re) map ( Preferences-> General-> Keys ) "New (Class)" to Ctrl + 1 and selecting nonexistent class text to populate the new class dialog with the class name .

Unfortunately, you still have to enter the names of the source file and the title in the dialog box.

Answer 20

For me, this is one of the most useful keyboard shortcuts, especially in debug mode :

Alt + ← / → - Go to the previous / next cursor position.

Answer 21

Alt + Shift + ↑ : select a block.

Answer 22

Shift + Alt + G : generate getters and setters (link them)

Alt + Ctrl + ↑ : duplicate row (s)

Ctrl + Shift + / : fold everything

Ctrl + * : expand all

Ctrl + / : enable / disable folding
