what's the shortcut of switching between different perspectives in eclipse

Question

I have PyDev, Java, and CDT installed on my Eclipse, and sometimes I need to switch between different perspectives; Debug to Pydev, for example. Does Eclipse have a shortcut to switch between them?

Now I just need to find a way to remove the perspectives I never need. Hm. – Thomas Ahle Aug 01 '14 at 06:56

@ThomasAhle maybe you should open a question, but the answer is: right click over the perspective icon > close – xedo Feb 18 '15 at 11:14

You can specify hotkeys for specific perspectives in Window->Preferences:

You can export these to file using 'Export CSV...', here are mine if interested -

Eclipse allows you to change the perspective easily. Ctrl + F8 still switches between default/regular and most recent perspective. The toolbar shortcut is available too. Toolbar shortcut Image
