Where does Eclipse store its user preferences? Specifically the keyboard bindings?
823
The main preference page can be found under Window > Preferences > General > Keys (or faster: Press Ctrl+3, type Keys and press Enter). From here you can see all commands and assign/change their associated keyboard shortcuts.
Search – Eclipse Shortcuts CTRL SHIFT G – Search for current cursor positioned word reference in workspace. CTRL H – Java search in workspace.
Connect the keyboard that you want to configure. Select the Start button, and then select Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center. From the displayed list of key names, select the key that you want to reassign. In the command list of the key that you want to reassign, select a command.
When you close Eclipse, any local settings regarding key shortcuts (settings that differ from the default configuration) are saved in
</path/to/workspace>\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\
org.eclipse.ui.workbench.prefs
You can actually just copy the whole line in the org.eclipse.ui.workbech.prefs file that starts with: org.eclipse.ui.commands=
and paste it into the other corresponding eclipse workspace prefs file you want to update - at least in Eclipse Neon, and you'll get them all at once.
