Visual Keyboard for Eclipse

Does anyone have a key binding scheme similar to VS 2005 for Eclipse?

How to import it into Eclipse settings (I see only the export button).

How to set Visual Studio key bindings in Eclipse (Helios onwards)

For those who find this message, if you need step-by-step instructions and you are using the Eclipse Indigo PDT, the following should help you:

(Note: you will be prompted to restart Eclipse after installation)

  • Run eclipse
  • Click Help → Install New Software
  • In the Work with field , select or enter a version of Eclipse , for example:
  • Verify that the Text Filter Type field is blank.
  • Wait for the list of names and versions to appear.
  • Scroll down the page to find programming languages and expand it
  • Find the C / C ++ Development Tools and check the box.
  • Click Next and follow the remaining instructions on the screen.

After the installation is complete and restarting Eclipse ...

  • Click Window → Preferences
  • Expand General
  • Press keys
  • Change the schema to Microsoft Visual Studio
  • Click OK

To confirm the update, try pressing CTRL + SHIFT + F and the "Search" dialog box will appear.

I think the latest ships are Eclipse with Visual Studio bindings, but at least Eclipse PDT is not (I just installed). And I would prefer that Eclipse does not have many additional plugins to make it more "thin", so I did not add the C ++ plugin. (this may not affect performance, but I really only need the keys ...)

Somehow, I added the keys that I need. As noted in previous posters, when you "export" in the key setting, there is no way to import them, so you can use the separate File-> Export / Import function for this.

So, as a summary:

  • Try adding the Eclipse C ++ plugin and see if it works with key bindings that work for you

  • Use key key bindings, a key list, and download install: unzip here, use File-> Import-> General ... to get it in Eclipse

This is far from complete (these are just the keys that I missed to get started ...), but better than nothing.

Update (2009-10-16): added Ctrl + G (switch) to bindings.

To get Visual Studio key bindings in Eclipse, you need to install C ++ development plugins - see this .

I downloaded the latest version of Java Eclipse development (version below) when in Help → Software Updates → Available Software → Ganymede and check the C ++ box. After the restart, a link to Visual Studio appeared in the list.

I don’t have a VS2005 binding scheme, because I personally prefer the Brief style scheme.

However, to import “this” as far as I know (at least on Eclipse 3.4 Ganymede), use File → Import → General → Preferences, where “it” is a .prf file that was saved using File → Export → General → Settings.

Eclipse Ganymede has a built-in binding scheme for Visual Studio. Have you tried this?
