Do you ever find yourself wondering how do I get there from here, where “there” might be a restaurant, the nearest bus stop or Courtney Cox and David Arquette’s house? If only life had an F3 key. Highlight a symbol in your open editor (symbol means keyword like a variable, method name, class name, etc) and jump to its declaration by pressing F3. Fun right? Go ahead, do it again. If you forget or if you are in the mood for mousing, right-click the highlighted symbol and select the “Open Declaration” option. You’ll notice that the folks at Eclipse put “F3″ beside the Open Declaration option, just so you won’t forget. They’re so thoughtful. You should send them something.
Today’s tip:
F3 – opens declaration
