Eclipse Keystroke to Slide Block of Text Left/Right

Question

I know in Eclipse you can slide a line/block of text up and down by using Alt+Up and Alt+Down, but is there a keystroke to slide a chunk of text left or right?

Say I typed this:

int age = getAgeAtDeath("Years", "1980-12-08", "1940-10-09");

Is there any way I can highlight the , "1940-10-09" and slide the chunk left one character at a time? I know I can cut/paste any number of ways so I'm really just looking to know if there's a left/right equivalent of Alt+Up / Alt+Down.

Thanks!

There is no command to do that. I've wanted it at times, too. But if you look at the General > Keys in preferences, you can see that there are only commands for Move Lines Up and Move Lines Down.
