How can I bind a specific key to different launch configurations in Eclipse?

I am launching certain programs many times from the little dropdown menu next to the green run-button in eclipse.

Is there a way to bind keys (like F1 - F12) to those run configurations?

I couldnt find something like this in the preferences under "Keys".

Currently there's no way to bind to a specific launch config (without writing the plugin code yourself). Here's an example of walking the launch configs looking for a named one:

public class LaunchRunAwayHandler extends AbstractHandler {
    @Override
    public Object execute(ExecutionEvent event) throws ExecutionException {
        try {
            final ILaunchManager launchManager = DebugPlugin.getDefault().getLaunchManager();
            ILaunchConfiguration toLaunch = null;
            for (ILaunchConfiguration config :launchManager.getLaunchConfigurations()) {
                System.out.println(config.getName());
                if (config.getName().equals("RunAway")) {
                    toLaunch = config;
                }
            }
            DebugUITools.launch(toLaunch, ILaunchManager.RUN_MODE);
        } catch (CoreException e) {
            throw new ExecutionException("Failed to launch", e);
        }
        return null;
    }

}

In theory, you would write a command that provides takes a parameter to pick the name, and defines an org.eclipse.core.commands.IParameterValues so you could see all of your launch configs in the Keys preference page.

F11 is Debug Last Launched and CTRL+F11 is Run Last Launched. You might have to set a preference in Preferences>Run/Debug>Launching to "Always launch the previously launched application". But that will just launch the last one, not switch between launches.
