I am an old IntelliJ user, now working on a project that requires Eclipse.
I don’t mind learning the Eclipse default keyboard shortcuts where they exist, but so many operations don’t have shortcuts assigned (grrrr!)

I was wondering if there is any plugin that would automatically assign the IntelliJ defaults to any action that does not already have a mapping?

As an alternative I guess I could also use a plugin that just wipes out all of the Eclipse defaults and replaces them with the IntelliJ versions.

Or do I have to just go and manually replace them all one by one 🙁 ?

    The IdeaKeyScheme plugin was just developed by one guy that wanted the same thing. Source and binary are available. I haven’t tried it myself, but many people use it with great success. It seems to be the only thing out there.

    If you’re concerned about keyboard mappings, the Key Promoter plugin for Eclipse (known as MouseFeed) will be a big help, too. There’s also an IntelliJ version. I highly recommend this plugin for productivity enhancement.

    Installation and enabling IdeaKeyScheme plugin

    1. For Eclipse: add jar file to eclipse/dropins/plugins folder.
    2. Restart Eclipse.
    3. Open Window → Preferences → General → Keys and select the scheme “Intellij Idea”.
