By Erich Styger – Yes, the Eclipse IDE is a very visual and GUI-oriented framework. But this does not mean that everything is mouse oriented. While hammering in code, my hands are on the keyboard. Since I do as much as possible with the keyboard, I use any and all keyboard shortcuts available. The good news is [...]
(This is the first article in a series about the scripting CodeWarrior Eclipse tools. Post a comment – let me know if this is helpful. I’d also like to know about other topics that you want to hear more about.) By Erich Styger – Writing code should be fun, and often it is. However, because I [...]
