whether you are an eclipse veteran or beginner, there will be times when you want to access a certain functionality but you can’t remember exactly where to find it.

this is where control-3 (or ⌘-3 on mac) comes in handy.

for example, if i want to modify the java formatting options, i press this combination and then the first letters of “formatter:”

as you can see, every single functionality in eclipse that contains the letters “formatt” is displayed, and the one i’m looking for is displayed at the bottom. i select it, and:

remember this shortcut next time you get lost in eclipse!
