Eclipse (Aptana) Question

Post by nickvd »

I'm used to being able to change the file that I'm working on by using various different keystrokes (alt+left/right in quanta, alt+# in PSPad, CTRL+pgup/down in firefox [to change tabs])

I have yet to find the setting in eclipse (read: aptanta) to replicate this. I've found back/forward but it seems to be change the location within the same file, or some other weird functionality.

I'm slowly starting to enjoy aptana (and as a result eclipse), but this problem is a major road block for me.

I'm hoping that someone else out there has had the same question and has been able to find a suitable answer.

Thanks!

In Eclipse 3.2, I believe it's Ctrl-PgUp/PgDn

Aptana is a beatiful asset to have in your toolset if you develop with JavaScript :)

I agree 100%, it's code assist for JS is just amazing. I can't wait until they have it for php as well.

feyd, your suggestion is switching the view from code to preview and back again. If your install operates as you suggest, would you mind locating the command that is configured for those keys so i can replicate it here...

The keys aren't showing up in the mapping panel. From what I can tell, it's built into the editor view.

I've worked around the issue by re-mapping alt-left/right to Previous/Next Editor, but it doesn't switch to the file, it opens a little context menu to pick the file. It can be useful, so I'm going to try to get used to it.

Thanks for the help though :)
