Shortcut - Find next occurence in files [message #755000]

Hi there!

I am programming like 4 weeks with eclipse, and i have to say it is genious.

At the moment i try to learn the shortcuts. One thing bugs me:

When i search with ctrl+h in the whole project, i can click through a "Search"-

sidebar to see and edit the occurrences, but i did not find a shortcut to get to the

next occurrence when it is in another file. With Ctrl+K i can only switch between

occurrences in one file, and Ctrl+. only works when i have activated the search-bar,

but not in the editor (So i have to move my mouse, which is contra-productive).

Any help would be appreciated

Regards, Pascal

You should be able to use Ctrl+. to go over all the matches (also this
inside one file) while the Search view remains active (i.e. no need to
use Ctrl+K). There is no other way than this, i.e. the focus has to be
on the Search view to navigate through its results.

@ Michael
Yes i know that cheatsheet, i desperately searched 2 days long just for this problem Smile

@Dani
What i want to do is refactor parameters of functions, so i need to edit every search-result different (-> the replace-functionality does not help me).
Therefore i have to switch between search-bar and editor constantly. Sadly i cant use the Ctrl+.-shortcut,but thanks for your help.

So this is not possible in Eclipse, but maybe i can switch per
shortcut between the editor and the search-bar without filling the ctrl-h form out?

Not sure whether this is about Java code, but if it is, there is a
refactoring to change the parameters: Refactor > Change Method Signature...
