    You can find a wealth of information in the Eclipse Help section (in Eclipse), particularly a gargantuan list of all these keyboard shortcuts.

    Yes, you’re right. This list is supposed to be small and show which are my favourites. I hope someone would tell me if there’s a keyboard shortcut that should be amongst my favourites! :)

    Hi!

    A few other keyboard-shortcuts immediately comes into my mind:

    Alt+Shift+S, V – Override/Implement Methods…
    Alt+Shift+S, R – Generate Getters and Setters… (although not to be used headlessly:))
    Alt+Shift+D, T – Debug JUnit Test
    Alt+Shift+R – Refactor –> Rename
    F3 – Open Declaration (With marker on for instance another Class)
    Alt + ← → – Back and Forward
