Often when I'm working in Eclipse, I'll be in a perspective (say debug) and doing stuff there, then I want to maximize a file I'm looking at. I double-click it, and work on it, then double-click again to minimize back to the debug perspective.
Is there a hot-key to do this from the keyboard?
CTRL - F6 in Eclipse, like ALT - TAB (on windows), brings up a list of tabs/windows available (if you keep the CTRL / ALT key depressed) and highlights the one you will jump to when you let go of this key. You do not have to select the window.
Press Ctrl + F7 you will get below pop up. Traverse or cycle through the views you want to close by pressing F7 key. After selecting the view to be closed in the above pop up release Ctrl key. Then the view to be closed will be activated.
Ctrl + M will maximize/restore the editor area.
If you can't remember all shortcuts, then just learn Ctrl + Shift + L. That will show a list of available shortcuts.
