Some useful ASDT and Eclipse shortcuts
Learn the shortcut keys for Eclipses and ASDT. I would recommend you try to learn as many as possible but the following are particularly interesting.
* [ALT]+/ - Auto-complete * F3 - Follow method * [CTRL]+[SPACE]
Auto-complete I’ve heard this feature called hippie typing but essentially it will attempt to auto-complete based on previously typed commands. So if I had an object with a class called _ball and then typed _ba then [ALT]+ / Eclipse would complete the rest of the objects name. It might auto finish to display the name of an object that starts with ‘_ba’ but is not the desired name. If this happens you can simple press [ALT]+/ again and cycle through the various possibly values.
Follow Methods(F3) This is great, if you press [F3] when the ‘insertion point’ if over a Class name then Eclipse will open up that class go to it. If your ‘insertion point’ is over a method then Eclipse will follow the method. This is great for tracking through a long chain of methods.
