Run an action by name in Eclipse

Question

As much as I like to remember as many keyboard shortcuts as possible, there's always something I don't know how to do via a keyboard shortcut. Is there an Eclipse equivalent to M-x from Emacs or Find action by name from Intellij IDEA?

Answer 1

How about Ctrl+Shift+L which is the shortcut for Show Key Assist.

I use Ctrl+3 a lot, which is the shortcut for quick access popup, where you can type the name of any view, perspective or open editor to open/switch to that, or the name of an action to run it. By the way, you can see if your choose have a shortcut assigned when selecting.

Note: this is on Ubuntu, may be slightly different on a Mac.
