One of my co-workers recently threw his Win machine out of a window (is that irony or is that something else?), and replaced it with a MBP. He’s a Linux guy and hasn’t worked much with OS X, so he was asking me questions as he set himself up, but that quickly turned into him giving me lessons on Eclipse.
Eclipse is at the top of the list of things I need to learn more about. It’s nestled next to Terminal, Python, and ANT.
I’m sure there are several comprehensive lists available, but here are a few new keyboard shortcuts that I’m currently pretty fabulous about:
Command + / – comments out selected lines with single-line comments. I’m nearly ecstatic about this one.
Command + Option + right arrow – drills to a highlighted method or property. This is the same as Command + click, or Function + F3.
Command + Option + left arrow – go back to where you drilled from. Nice.
Command + Option + up/down arrow – duplicate current line (up arrow duplicates it on line above, down on line below).
Command + right/left arrow – go to end/beginning of line.
Command + up/down arrow – go to top/bottom of document.
Command + right/left/up/down arrow + Shift – selects content between cursor start and end positions.
Option + right/left arrow – move to start/end of word.
Option + up/down arrow – moves current line up/down.
Option + left/right arrow + Shift – select to start/end of word.
