There is a search everywhere
shortcut in Intellij IDEA(double clicking shift button), I'm wondering if similiar searching can be done in Eclipse. I did some googling, but it seems I can't search files/code at the same time in Eclipse.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
No, the search everywhere (source code, databases, actions, elements of the user interface) from IntelliJ is (for Eclipse) split at least between:
- searches (ctrl+H): you can define a search in files by default.
- searches in shortcuts (ctrl+l): for dearching the list of key bindings
For me, its a combination of:
Cmd+Shift+R
: using wildcards like *, for the files
Cmd+Shift+M
: for methods (also Cmd+O
for a quick outline)
Cmd+Shift+T
: for classes
I prefer keyboard shortcuts rather than the mouse, so these 3 shortcuts helps me a lot
Control + 3 - search in all the settings. And my favourite Control + Shift + L (Only in Spring Source Tool Suite) - it's like Google for your source code. Is somehow similar to Symbol/ctag search in Intellij but it finds ALL occurences.
Both are very old features.
