Hi all,
two years ago I started using IntelliJ IDEA, which I like very much.
However,
I'm now beginning to see the limitations of their "open API" for creating
plugins
(it is, basically, very hard to use proper mock objects when doing plugin
unit
testing).
So I decided to move to an open platform.
I like eclipse a lot, but there's something that I really need to have :
alt+i should move the editor's caret to the previous line (same position,
but previous line)
alt+k should move the editor's caret to the next line (...)
alt+j should move the editor's caret one character to the left
alt+l should move the editor's caret one character to the right
This is a very fast way to move the cursor/caret (it doesn't require
moving the fingers
to the "arrows"). It is not common, but I've found some people using it.
Moreover :
ctrl+alt+j should move the editor's caret to the previous word
ctrl+alt+l should move the editor's caret to the next word
And when using "shift" with all these shortcuts, it should select the text
accordingly.
How would I go to have this "feature" in Eclipse's editor (Java editor) ?
Thanks in advance,
Jean

This is currently not possible. You can file an enhancement request for it.

This is possible via Keys preference page by setting the key sequence
for the commands: (Select) Next/Previous Word

You can discuss this in the bug itself.
