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

Answer 1

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 ? – Opportina

@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). – Chickaree

Answer 2

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?

Answer 3

For RStudio:

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

More shortcuts are mentioned under the 'View' menu.
