Eclipse shortcut "go to line + column"

Question

Does anyone know if there is the shortcut "go to line + column" in Eclipse?

This shortcut allows you the multicolumn selection, but I am looking for one that carry the cursor to a column — Javi Pedrera, Jun 27 '13 at 18:24
You can use ctrl+shift+L to show a list of all available shortcuts in Eclipse. — Anderson Green, Sep 17 '13 at 14:26

Ctrl+L Jump to Line Number. To hide/show line numbers, press ctrl+F10 and select 'Show Line Numbers' There is no way to go to a particular column according to my knowledge.

On OSX, the shortcut is ⌘ + L

It you want more short-cuts, refer http://www.shortcutworld.com/en/win/Eclipse.html

As you are aware CTRL+L goes to a particular Line, there is also CTRL+Q to go to the last edit location. The is no key combination in Eclipse to go to a particular Line and Column.

You can use a Keyboard Macro (available as hardware in some keyboards and included as software with some other keyboards). An explanation for Microsoft is here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/237179 .

A Program like Autohotkey http://www.autohotkey.com/ can also be used.

You can use CTRL + forward or backward key to jump to the next dot in the same line. for example, in System.out.println("test"); you can switch between System, out and println by using CTRL + forward and backward key.
