Eclipse Key Scheme – Call for Shortcuts

In order to work efficiently in a development environment, I think you need an environment, which allows you to work exclusive with the keyboard. And you are rarely forced by the environment to switch back to mouse. Therefore in eclipse a cool set of keyboard shortcuts exists e.g. CTRL+1 for quick fix or refactoring rename CRTL+ALT+R. But some functions in eclipse have no default shortcut, for this function I defined always my own shortcuts. But often I forget to share these settings between my different eclipse installations and eclipse workspaces. Since I have some time I would now like to create my own key scheme plugin (see github).

To create a key scheme in eclipse, you must create a new eclipse plugin and use the extension point "org.eclipse.ui.bindings", see the sample plugin.xml below.

	<plugin>
	<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.bindings">
	<scheme
	name="tux2323"
	description="My Eclipse Key Scheme"
	parentId="org.eclipse.ui.defaultAcceleratorConfiguration"
	id="com.github.tux2323.eclipse.keyschemeAcceleratorConfigurationleratorConfiguration">
	</scheme>
	<key
	commandId="org.eclipse.ui.perspectives.showPerspective"
	schemeId="com.github.tux2323.eclipse.keyschemeAcceleratorConfigurationleratorConfiguration"
	sequence="M1+M2+P"> <!-- Win: STRG+SHIFT+P Mac: CMD+SHIF+P -->
	</key>
	<!-- Add here the keys for the scheme -->
	</extension>
	</plugin>
