I would like to launch a File Search then navigate the results (jump to next / previous match) without leaving the editor window.

I currently do it like this…

  1. Open File Search CTRL + H and search
  2. Open results window ALT + SHIFT + Q, S
  3. Show Next Match CTRL + .
  4. Switch back to editor ENTER (jumps to selected line)
  5. Edit code
  6. Switch back to Search results CTRL + F7
  7. Goto [3]

…but obviously this is a bit tedious. Ideally the Show Next Match shortcut would work in the editor window like F8 does in Visual Studio.

I’m using Eclipse Indigo Service Release 1.

    No, it is not possible, however other people want this functionality, and someone has even implemented an example plug-in of how it should be done.

    Here is a blog post about the plug-in

    …and the bugzilla report where the functionality was requested (and the example plug-in attached). Perhaps you should try installing it and adding your voice to the bug?
