Eclipse navigation shortcuts

I wish to know which are the Eclipse navigation keyboard shortcuts.

I already use:

Ctrl + Shift + UP or DOWN to navigate trough methods

Ctrl + , or . to navigate between errors

Ctrl + Page UP or DOWN to navigate between tabs

UP or DOWN to navigate trough project structure at "Package Explorer" and SPACE to expand/collapse folders or open files

With those I almost don't use the mouse, I want to know if there's a shortcut to swap between the eclipse inner windows (to console bottom, to code middle, tasks right, explorer left and so on)

Thanks

How do I navigate in Eclipse?

Shift + Ctrl + T : search and open a Java Type (note that it won't search on JSPs, XML files, etc. only will search the classes declared) Ctrl + F6 : Opens a dropdown with the list of open files (so you can change from one to another). Ctrl + F7 : Dropdown with the available views.

Which shortcut key is used for navigation?

The Tab key will navigate through the various fields. A Shift+Tab moves backwards in the navigation between those items. Once you have landed on an area within the dialogue box, you may need to use the up, down, left, or right arrows to make a more specific choice.

There is a very powerful shortcut Ctrl+3 that allows you to go pretty much anywhere. Just type Ctrl+3 and then start typing the name of the view, e.g. "console".

Of course you can always set dedicated shortcuts for different views in Preferences->Keys, like Show View (View: Console)
