Question

Is there a shortcut to Close a View in Eclipse (not CTRL+W to close the editor)?

Answer 1

You can define your own key binding: Window -> Preferences -> General -> Keys.

Search for Close Part and use the binding Ctrl+W. In the When dropdown select In Windows. Then you can also close Views by Ctrl+W.

Answer 2

Press Alt + - to open the system menu, and then press C to close the view.
