Question

When typing xml in eclipse, content assist will add the closing tag of my xml.
I type eclipse adds . As soon as I type a character in the body between the opening and ending tag, eclipse instantly puts an outline around the last character of the closing tag.

It seems obvious that after you’ve completed typing the body, there ought to be a way to advance the cursor to that position at the end of the tag. I can’t figure out how to do it.

In java it would be tab, but that doesn’t work, nor does ctrl-tab. Does anyone know what magic key combo advances the cursor?

Answer 1

Hit alt+shift+up as many time as required to expand selection to include end tag then right to clear the selection and the cursor is left just after end tag!!
