Keyboard shortcut for "open next search result"?

Question

Eclipse has this great feature for finding text in Workspace ( Ctrl + Alt + G ), Project, File or Working Set.

The results are displayed neatly on the “Search” / “View” tab, and when I double-click (i.e. mouse ) on a specific line, the file (in which the found search text is found) opens exactly where the search text is located.

Is there a keyboard shortcut for this double click? To open the next one?

Answer 1

There is more than one key combination for this action that I know of, but there are two of them that can work in sequence.

• Go to Window> Prefs> Keys
• Search Show View
• Set some custom keyboard shortcuts because the default is too long to be effective (I like to use Alt + Shift + S)
• Search
• When searching in focus, double-click the first result
• When you're ready to move on to the next element, use the key combination to display the search again (Alt + Shift + S for me).
• Then press "Ctrl +."
• This shortcut will display the following result and a new file will open.

So with this sequence you can use two keyboard shortcuts (Alt + Shift + S, then Ctrl +.) To do what you want.

Answer 3

@gamerson has the correct answer, but in the future I would like to make sure that you know about the two key keys of the meta keyboard keys:

• Ctrl-Shift-L (Command-Shift-L on Mac) - Opens a list of available shortcuts to search.
• Ctrl-3 (Command-3 on Mac) - “Quick Access” gives you a list containing a list of searchable items, menu items, windows, tabs, etc. This is pretty damn useful.
