Is there a way to change keyboard shortcuts in Eclipse to match those in Visual Studio 2010?
I am a C# developer and I am used to Visual Studio shortcuts. I am now using Eclipse to do some Java programming. It is fun, but painful because my brain is hard-wired :).
Display and Edit the Current Keyboard Shortcuts To see the current key configuration and its keyboard shortcuts, choose the Eclipse > Preferences menu command to open the Eclipse workbench Preferences. Select the General > Editor > Keys page.
To configure keyboard shortcuts through the JSON file, open Keyboard Shortcuts editor and select the Open Keyboard Shortcuts (JSON) button on the right of the editor title bar. This will open your keybindings.json file where you can overwrite the Default Keyboard Shortcuts.
Search – Eclipse Shortcuts CTRL SHIFT G – Search for current cursor positioned word reference in workspace. CTRL H – Java search in workspace.
after installing the C/C++ Development Tools (CDT) there should be Visual Studio scheme available (from Windows > Preferences > General > Keys)
more informations (with screenshots) can be found on Configure Eclipse to use VS.Net shortcuts?
I've just tried it using Spring's eclipse distribution (spring source tool suite) and it works
