What are the shortcut keys to change to the next and previous tab in Eclipse on Mac OS X?

Question

I want to be able to switch from one file to another in the Eclipse editor (in the Java perspective) from the keyboard (and bind those key combinations to buttons on my mouse). What are the shortcut keys for switching the current tab to the next or previous?

Answer 1

Mac OS X:

Fn+Cntrl+↑

Fn+Cntrl+↓

Effectively Cntrl+page up/page down as given in the first comment for @wibbe01's answer.

Answer 2

According to this thread, switching editors are:

• Shift+Command+F6
• Command+F6

, which you can remap to:

• Shift+Command+Tab
• Command+Tab

Note, as mentioned in that same thread:

• Command+E lists all the opened editors, allowing to quickly select one
• Shift+Command+L lists all the active key bindings.

The bug 86248 helped introduced the Cntrl+↑ and Cntrl+↓, which Bjorn Tipling reports working on Mac with a Fn in front of it.
