My time spent programming is split between what I do at work, and the programming I do at home in my spare time. At work, we use Vista machines and IntelliJ IDEA 8, whilst at home I use Mac OS X and Eclipse.
As you can imagine, my ability to easily switch between the two is getting more difficult as I find the keyboard shortcuts are different.
Is there a good way to quickly standardize the shortcuts for both Eclipse and IDEA? I see myself mostly using Eclipse in the future, so I would preferably like to switch in that direction.
If not, I'll do it manually (ughh).
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).
Display and Edit the Current Keyboard Shortcuts To see the current key configuration and its keyboard shortcuts, choose the Eclipse > Preferences menu command to open the Eclipse workbench Preferences. Select the General > Editor > Keys page.
You can always access current list of defined shortcuts by pressing Ctrl + Shift + L in Eclipse (on Windows at least).
Search – Eclipse Shortcuts CTRL SHIFT G – Search for current cursor positioned word reference in workspace. CTRL H – Java search in workspace.
To get Eclipse Shortcuts, go to "Settings" and type "keymap". Then select Eclipse on the list.
Odd, someone had the exact same wish back in 2005!
Intellij is supposed to have an Eclipse Keymap
The IntelliJ FAQ for eclipse user mentions:
IntelliJ IDEA includes a bundled Eclipse keymap, so you can select it in Settings dialog, Keymap if you prefer using shortcuts you're accustomed to.
IntelliJ is supposed to have that Eclipse keymaps since the Demetra 6.0.5 version.
See their Release Notes from that (old) version.
