I’m mostly using Eclipse on Mac OSX for my little programming tasks, I don’t see me as a real programmer although I learned it as a professional a few years ago. I would agree if you think that I break a fly on on the wheel by using this powerful environment two write some shell scripts, e. g.
I like Eclipse because of the platform indepence, the lots of plugins (like subversion) and the support of so much programming languages.
Anyway, the default configuration of my installation was (and maybe still is) not perfect for my needs. Here comes the first change I did.
Key bindings of square brackets
Typing “[" or "]” results in an error message.
I was surprised not to find the solution easily in google. I never have been the first guy finding an error in anything.
So, to have the solution erverytime available, I decided to write it down here.
Go to Eclipse->Preferences->Keys, type “[" in the right field with "type filter text" above the commands list, mark the according line and klick "Remove Binding".
Do the same with "]” and “}”.
At this point I have to admit, that I didn’t check what good for are these bindings, maybe I’ll run in trouble later using another programming language, buts it’s perfect for the moment.
to be continued…
