Control+Shift+Right is probably the one that you are looking for. However Window->Preferences->Keys could give you the short cuts and you could bind your keys for those that doesn't have.

That only selects part of the token if it's camel case. For example if the cursor is between the "r" and "i" in the token "myVariableName", only the characters "iable" will be selected.

To progressively select java statements, you can use ALT+SHIFT+UP_ARROW.

To search for the text occurrence of the current highlighted word, you
can use CTRL+K

See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=23080 Not what you
asked for but just in case: you could use double-click.

Double-click selects too much. For example, if the word is a string literal, the quotes around the word will be selected.

Please vote to have this essential keyboard shortcut implemented.
