| Best way to open file in same dir as currently open file [message #164813] |

Very often while in Eclipse, I'm viewing a file in my project, and realize
that I want to now view another file in the same directory as that file,
but which I do not have an open tab for yet.
As far as I can tell, there is no shortcut for this sort of thing. I have
to go into the package explorer and navigate into the directory where the
file resides, and open the other file.
Although the value of Eclipse is obvious, this is a simple thing that
Emacs does very well, and Eclipse is still awkward with.
That is, unless I'm missing something.
I know about "Open File", but that seems to assume the file is not in my
project, so the file browser starts at the "root" of the filesystem, not
in my project.

David,
If you want to open a Java class, Open Type (Ctrl-Shift-T) is great. If
you want to open another type of file, Open Resource (Ctrl-Shift-R) works.
Hope this helps,

Note that those commands are, by default, not enables in all
perspectives. For example, Open Type is not available in the Resource
Navigator perspective and Open Resource is not available in the Java or
Java Browsing perspectives.
The good news is that you can configure what commands are available in a
perspective by choosing Window > Customize Perspective (Commands tab).
Hope this helps,
