I'm a keyboard shortcut addict. Eclipse has a nice feature which is the "Java stack trace console". However I am not able to find a nice way to get there without using the mouse.

I do Alt+Shift+Q, then C to get to the console view, but then I want to switch to the "Java stack trace console" (or to any other of the consoles)

In the "open console" dialog, all consoles have a number, so I assume that I'm only missing the hotkey to precede the number.

  • I hadn't seen this and I just posted the same question. Let's see if I get better luck: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3324062/eclipse-keyboard-shortcut-for-switching-between-consoles – Sergio Acosta Jul 24 '10 at 06:36
  • It did, in fact, got solved. Check out the answer to my question. – Sergio Acosta Jul 26 '10 at 10:59
  • if I understand it correctly, this is different problem. There is two menus on Console View: Open Console and Show Selected Console. I think Nils Otto here asked for Open Console where you asked for Show Selected Console. Anyway, check the update of the plugin. – nanda Jul 26 '10 at 12:15

I assume you are running on the Windows platform.

Under Mac the default is Cmd+F7 that allows you to open any view.

Check. Preferences > General > Keys. The "Next View" shortcut will allow you to open any view.

  • This is not exactly what I wanted. I know how to get to the console-view itself (either by cmd+f7 or directly with alt-shift-q c) My "problem" arises when I get to the console and want to switch between open consoles – Nils Otto Sep 11 '09 at 11:36
