Answer 1

How can I switch between opened windows in Eclipse

CTRL+F7 works here - Eclipse Photon on Windows.

Answer 2

The default is Ctrl + F6. You can change it by going to Window preferences. I usually change it to Ctrl + Tab, the same we use in switching tabs in a browser and other stuff.

Answer 3

Hold CTRL and press F6 until you reached the editor you want, then release. The UI is not as pretty as the window selection, but the functionality is the same.

Answer 4

Shortcut key to back to the previous tab

Alt + LeftArrow to go back.

Answer 5

For some reason my Eclipse settings were corrupted so I had to manually edit the file /.plugins/org.eclipse.e4.workbench/workbench.xmi

I must have previously set Ctrl+Tab to Browser-like tab switching, and even resetting all key bindings in Eclipse preferences wouldn't get rid of the shortcuts (they were not displayed anywhere either). I opened the above mentioned file and removed the <bindings> elements marked with <tags>type:user</tags> related to the non-functioning shortcuts.

Answer 6

CTRL + F6 is good to use. If you want to switch to next/previous tab, you need to do CTRL+Page Down / CTRL+Page Up.
