About Eclipse IDE and its shortcuts

Eclipse is a long-established development environment with an enormous command set, and its keyboard is one of its strengths: finding types and resources, navigating between declarations and references, running and debugging, and the quick fix that resolves most everyday errors.

Shortivo publishes the Windows list. Eclipse lets you switch key schemes and every plugin can contribute bindings, so two installations built for different languages can feel like different programs.
