JDeveloper alternative for eclipse shortcuts

votes

I've been using eclipse for about 10 years now, and today I will be (forced to) use JDeveloper for the first time.

Being a big fan of the eclipse shortcuts, I would like to know some JDeveloper alternatives for my favorite shortcuts:

  • Ctrl-3 (Quick access)
  • Ctrl-Shift-1 (or Ctrl-1, depending on your keyboard) (Quick Fix)
  • Ctrl-Shift-L (Show the shortcuts :-))
  • Shift-Enter (Add a new line below the current one)
  • Alt-↓ (Move line(s))
  • Ctrl-Alt-↓ (Copy line(s))

Any other shortcuts in JDeveloper I should know about? I have found this link, but the list is way too short.

Wow...I didn't know that JDeveloper was still a serious product. I feel sorry for you. :( – Andrew Eisenberg

I once battled JDeveloper for two years and somehow lived to tell about it. If you're using 11g, here is a trick you can use to load the Eclipse shortcut scheme. I highly recommend doing this as there's really no value in learning the native key bindings.

A second piece of advice, do whatever it takes to get off whatever project you're required to use JDeveloper for. It is an ancient, buggy IDE designed to cater to an obscure, buggy framework. You will quickly find yourself handcuffed by JDeveloper and ADF, it is in no way in the same league as Eclipse/Netbeans/IntelliJ. You will hate it. You have been warned.
