How to focus view(Navigator or Explorer) by keyboard in Eclipse

Question

I'm in edit space of Eclipse (in some java class)

So, how to focus(to switch) view(Navigator or Explorer) by keyboard?

Solution 1

You can use <Ctrl><F7>,<Ctrl><Shift><F7> to cycle through the different views.

Solution 2

Via the menus: Window > Preferences, then General -> Keys
(or just Ctrl-Shift-L twice)

Then you can search in the type filter text field for "view: navigator" or target id: navigator

If there's not a key binding already, you can add one in the Binding: text field below.

Solution 3

To navigate to the Java Package Explorer specifically use the key binding Alt+Shift+Q P.

The key bindings to focus certain views in Eclipse all follow the pattern Alt+Shift+Q <Letter> though not all views have a key binding of their own.

As an alternative there is the Show In menu. The key binding Alt+ShiftW opens a popup menu that lists all views in which the current selection/editor can be shown in. Navigation views like Package Explorer and Project Explorer are always among the choices.
