Question

I'm using Eclipse for Python and R development. How can I jump between editor tab and console window using a keyboard shortcut / hotkey?

Go view Console: Shift + Alt + Q + C

You can switch to Editor using Ctrl + F7.

Ctrl + Shift + L displays all the shortcuts in Eclipse.

How do you perform `Shift + Alt + Q + C` ? – agoldev Feb 05 '15 at 11:33

@agoldev Press `Shift` + `Alt` + `Q` and the same time, then you can release them and then press `C`. Eclipse will list you all possible shortcuts on the bottom right after you‘ve pressed `Shift` + `Alt` + `Q` that are possible with this combination (normally to open/focus a view). – bugybunny Oct 09 '18 at 12:09

I've found the following works:

Toggle between views: Ctrl + Shift + F7

Switch Editor: Ctrl + Shift + F6

Go to R Console (In StatET perspective): Ctrl + R, C

However, the first two are not a direct route back to the editor and require use of the arrow keys and Ctrl + 7 does not work for me. Any other ways to go directly back to the last editor used?

For RStudio:

Ctrl+1 : focus to source
Ctrl+2 : focus to console

More shortcuts are mentioned under the 'View' menu.
