Eclipse Terminate Keyboard Shortcut

Question

How do I get eclipse to terminate? I use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+F11 to run a program and I cannot enable the terminate hotkey, since in development

Answer 1

Addendum: Unfortunately there is no keyboard shortcut for the Terminate/Disconnect All option mentioned below and you cannot manually set one. But at the very least, you should be able to terminate all launches with just one mouse click with the instructions below. I would consider this a solution to a significant part of your problem, which is wasting a lot of time clicking the red Terminate square.

To terminate all launches:

First Time Setup:

• In the menus, click Window > Show View > Other...
• Type debug in the search box and select Debug > Debug
• Click OK. The Debug pane will open.

Following which, how to terminate all launches:

• Open or switch to the Debug pane.
• Right-click on any of the items in the pane to get the context menu.
• Click Terminate/Disconnect All.

Tips:

• If the Console pane is annoying you by opening automatically, either separate the Debug pane from the Console pane (so they don't share the same section) or disable these two buttons in Console pane's toolbar:
  • Show Console When Standard Out Changes
  • Show Console When Standard Error Changes
• Some of the items in the Debug pane may not enable the option to terminate all. In this case, try right-clicking other items that look different.
