Is there a shortcut for switching between panels in eclipse?

Question

Eclipse has an MDI structure (Multi Document Interface), so the search panel, the package explorer and the code editor can all be open in one window, but I haven\'t found a keyb

Answer 1

And if you want to switch between perspectives its: Crtl + F8 and Ctrl + Shift + F8. You can go to Help > Key Assist... for a full list of shortcuts (this list will change depending on the active editor etc.).

Answer 2

There are two ways to do it.

One is how @VonC did it, in an earlier reply; using CTRL+SHIFT+E which opens a box containing all the panes with their paths.

The other one is to simply use CTRL+E, which will open a pop-up just over your cursor containing the list of panes open. Parse using arrows and ENTER

Answer 3

If I understand your question correct, you are probably looking for Ctrl + F7 and Ctrl + Shift + F7. Other navigational shortcuts can be found in the menu: Window > Navigation.

Answer 4

Not an universal shortcut for going to any panel, but:

Ctrl+Shift+E

allows you to go back to any Editor (although it's still a little heavyweight for quick editor navigation).
