When I use CTRL+H I end up on the Java Search tab. I would very much like a shortcut to go directly to File Search instead. Is that possible?

  1. You can just define a key binding that opens the file search:

    1. Go to Preferences > General > Keys
    2. Type ‘file search’ in the search box. (If there are no results, and you have a really old Eclipse version, select the Include Unbound Commands check box.)
    3. Put the caret into the Binding text box and press the key combination you want to use:

    You can either re-use the CTRL+H binding (delete the other binding in that case) or define another one (e.g. CTRL+SHIFT+H). To delete the other binding search for ‘Open Search Dialog’ and click on Unbind Command.

    Other solution: You could press CTRL+3 in your editor, type in ‘file s’, press Enter. The next time you press CTRL+3 ‘File Search’ is at the top.
