Question

According to the release notes of Eclipse 3.3 you can now join lines together with CRTL-ALT-J. This doesn’t work for me running Eclipse 3.5 on a Mac. Does it work for anyone else?

Answer 1

For mac, there is no key binding assigned by default (I’m using Eclipse 3.5 for Mac). You can assign your own bind if you want eg: ⌘+Alt+J.

1. Go to preferences (⌘+,)
2. Navigation to “General > Keys”
3. In the filter bar, search for “join”. Click on the command “Join Lines”
4. Click in the “Binding” box and then type the keys you wish to bind to this action.
