Is there an IntelliJ Keymapping plugin for Eclipse?

I am an old IntelliJ user, now working on a project that requires Eclipse. I don't mind learning the Eclipse default keyboard shortcuts where they exist, but so many operations don't have shortcuts assigned (grrrr!)

I was wondering if there is any plugin that would automatically assign the IntelliJ defaults to any action that does not already have a mapping?

As an alternative I guess I could also use a plugin that just wipes out all of the Eclipse defaults and replaces them with the IntelliJ versions.

Or do I have to just go and manually replace them all one by one :( ?

Can we use IntelliJ shortcuts in Eclipse?

IntelliJ IDEA automatically suggests a predefined keymap based on your environment. Make sure that it matches the OS you are using or select the one that matches shortcuts from another IDE or editor you are used to (for example, Eclipse or NetBeans).

Can Eclipse and IntelliJ work together?

You can import either an Eclipse workspace or a single Eclipse project. To do this, click Open on the Welcome Screen or select File | Open in the main menu. IntelliJ IDEA automatically detects Eclipse projects located on your computer and places them in the dedicated node right on the Welcome screen.

How do I make my Eclipse more like IntelliJ?

In Eclipse, go to Window->Preferences, and select General->Appearance. You can change the font in there. I don't know what IntelliJ uses, but you can probably look it up in IntelliJ, and just match it.

How do I change keymap in Eclipse?

Pressing Ctrl + Shift + L will open the current list of defined shortcuts, again pressing Ctrl + Shift + L will open preference page from where the shortcuts can be modified.

The IdeaKeyScheme plugin was just developed by one guy that wanted the same thing. Source and binary are available. I haven't tried it myself, but many people use it with great success. It seems to be the only thing out there.

If you're concerned about keyboard mappings, the Key Promoter plugin for Eclipse (known as MouseFeed) will be a big help, too. There's also an IntelliJ version. I highly recommend this plugin for productivity enhancement.


Installation and enabling IdeaKeyScheme plugin

  1. For Eclipse: add jar file to eclipse/dropins/plugins folder.
  2. Restart Eclipse.
  3. Open WindowPreferencesGeneralKeys and select the scheme "Intellij Idea".

I wanted the same thing since I predominantly use IntelliJ IDEA. Found this on the eclipse market place and up to now it has the same keymappings.

Activate it by going to : Window >> Preferences >> General >> Keys : change the scheme to : IntelliJ IDEA
