Eclipse: how to switch between console window and editor?

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?

Solution 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.

Solution 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?

How do you perform Shift + Alt + Q + C ?

@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).
