Is there any shortcut for maximizing the tab you are working on in Eclipse? Assume I am working on part of a code and I want to maximize the tab not using the double click on it with the mouse, does anyone know a way?

CtrlM will maximize/restore the editor area.

If you can't remember all shortcuts, then just learn CtrlShiftL. That will show a list of available shortcuts.

Some more shortcuts can be found on external sites.

    Actually it's faster to Google than look at Ctrl-Shift-L :) Thanks! – ybonda Jul 26 '15 at 09:55

    btw: on macOS the default shortcut to bring up the list of available shortcuts - at least for Eclipse Neon (4.6.1) - is cmd + shift + L – Aky Nov 14 '16 at 13:03

    If you are on windows and using Mobaxterm, Ctrl+M will not maximize the Eclipse's editor pane, instead it will hide/show the Mobaxterm. Solution: In Mobaxterm => Settings => Keyboard Short Cut => Change CTRL+M to something else. Restart the Mobaxterm. – Prashant Zombade Jun 12 '19 at 05:15
