Does anyone know if there is the shortcut "go to line + column" in Eclipse?
Hal, Ctrl-L prompts you to go to a line number. Ctrl-Shift-L (in Eclipse 3.1) shows you a cheat sheet of keyboard shortcuts.
File Navigation – Eclipse Shortcuts CTRL SHIFT R – Open a resource. You need not know the path and just part of the file name is enough. CTRL E – Open a file (editor) from within the list of all open files. CTRL PAGE UP or PAGE DOWN – Navigate to previous or next file from within the list of all open files.
Columns in the result view are sortable by clicking on the column header. Finding a column in the results view becomes easy using the quick find. Press CTRL-F and start entering the first letters of the column name. The view will scroll to the first match.
The Go to Line command lets you quickly jump to any line of code in the current document. To go to a specific line in any other file, use the Go To File command ( Ctrl+Shift+T ), type : (colon) after the target file name, and specify the line number after that.
Ctrl+L Jump to Line Number. To hide/show line numbers, press ctrl+F10 and select 'Show Line Numbers' There is no way to go to a particular column according to my knowledge.
On OSX, the shortcut is ⌘ + L
It you want more short-cuts, refer http://www.shortcutworld.com/en/win/Eclipse.html
As you are aware CTRL+L goes to a particular Line, there is also CTRL+Q to go to the last edit location. The is no key combination in Eclipse to go to a particular Line and Column.
You can use a Keyboard Macro (available as hardware in some keyboards and included as software with some other keyboards). An explanation for Microsoft is here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/237179 .
A Program like Autohotkey http://www.autohotkey.com/ can also be used.
