Don’t forget about Ctrl+2, R for a local rename which is a much quicker operation than a refactor rename in large codebases usually.

My personal favorite Ctrl + D : Delete the current line , very handy when you want to remove white spaces

F3 -> Open Declaration
Ctrl-Alt-H -> Open Call Hierarchy

Invaluable when getting to know a new codebase.

One very nice feature (although not a shortcut) in the Eclipse editor is the ability to automatically escape the data being pasted into a String literal. It’s disabled by default, so you need to enable it under Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Editor -> Typing.

Quite helpful when pasting, say, file/directory paths under Windows, which use ‘\’

Cheers!

The shortcut I use more often is “Next Editor”, however, its default key bind is not intuitive: Ctrl+F6. Change it to Ctrl+Tab and be happy

Shift + Alt + S, R -> Generate getters and setters.
Shift + Alt + S, O -> Generate Constructor using fields.
Ctrl + Alt + Arrow keys -> Duplicate selected code.

It’s funny, I had to open eclipse to find these out. I don’t know the keys, only the arcane gestures over the keyboard

I would like to thank you all for the contribution. The Ctrl+3 is really a neat shortcut.

My “refactoring combo”::

Alt+Shift+Arrow keys to select a Java expression, then Alt+Shift+(L|M|T) to extract a variable, method or to open the refactoring menu.

I was going to mention Ctrl+3 as one of the best unknown shortcuts/features, but someone beat me to it

My favorite is the Ctrl+3 shortcut: open views, prefs, etc. all in one shortcut!

I had to mention one that you forgot to mention. I always tend to you Ctrl-Shift-T, which is open type instead of open resource. From a java coding perspective, I think it is far more useful.
