(I only talk about Windows shortcuts.) My favorite shortcut that - for some reason - I see not many other people using is Ctrl+Alt+Down to duplicate a selection of lines. As with the Ctrl+D to delete the current line, it also refers to the entire line that the cursor is on. No selection necessary. The coolest thing about this is that for a block of lines you can select any part within that block and once again the entire lines are duplicated. You don't have to select them cleanly from the beginning of the first line down to the end of the last line. Probably yet more awesome is a write-same-on-each-line feature that many editors have, I don't know if Eclipse actually does. Another timesaver is Alt+Shift+Up, which expands the selection to the current element. Especially useful to select an entire method from anywhere within. Ctrl+Shift+O (Fix imports) and Ctrl+Shift+F (Format) work on current scope which could be the entire project or even workspace for a quick clean-up. The default shortcut for Rename is Alt+Shift+R.
I was always directed to thenewboston tutorials for coding. But I have found that the speed and clarity you teach with is much more to my liking. I learn and actually understand more in one of your video's then i do in an entire Software Engineering Lecture at university. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for comparing me to the master of video tutorials :) I hope I have a tenth of his subscribers some day. I'm very happy you enjoy the videos. I do my best to teach in a completely different way from the other guys. Ill keep trying to do the best I can
Thank you :) Sorry, but I have never tried to do that. That sounds like one great app! I have been working on a program that can recognize basic images like the difference between a ball and a brick, or a line or a square. I hope to get it to work some day and I'll be sure to give it to you guys
I normally use Java to make Android apps, but I have made cross platform apps using Ruby. Check out Rhodes. It is an open source Ruby-based framework. You can also make web based apps using Ruby. What I was referring to above however is that I normally use Ruby or PHP to create Web Services. I use these languages because they are more cost effective then Java. Most of my clients aren't Giant Corporations and they need cost effective solutions
Yes I use Code Blocks for C++, but for Java I only use Eclipse. The main reason is that I spend a ton of time developing Android apps and Eclipse is the only stable IDE for doing that.
What an incredible video! I've found Eclipse frustrating to get started with in the past but think it was mainly due to my lack of experience with Android and Java. Some really useful shortcuts here that I will definitely be using! Also, the cheat sheet was a god send!
This video is very useful for me to reduce lots of time and I also have watched the total of 95 Java Video Tutorial. I really appreciate your efforts and I can increase my programming skills through your videos.
Yes I will cover it, but I'm not sure when. I'm having a hard time prioritizing requests now because I'm getting so many. If someone sends me a request like this I can make it in one video. JUnit will take more then one video though. Sorry about that
Exactly Derek!u r awesome!frankly saying,it just been1 month of time i have found u r channel in you tube!from u r videos i was really impressed!before U, I used to watch some Bucky's video for java and Travis video for android!I have learned many things from Travis's Android series!But when i found u r tutorial I found both quality inside u r tutorial i.e. Java and Android! Another pretty things i like the most is u used to reply the all comments,only few people used to do this :)
I'll see what I can do. I guess I normally use Ruby and PHP for that stuff because most of my clients are always looking for cost effective solutions. Those 2 languages are more cost effective then Java. I'll do my best to cover all requests
Thank you :) That is the amazing iMovie. Do you guys want me to show you my presentation software? I'll show you exactly what I do step-by-step. I'll do that if I get at least 5 people to say they want to see it.
Very useful intro & productivity tips. On TURBO drive now, yay!! Thanks for the cheatsheet too which will be a quick reference vs the extensive list from Ctrl+Shift+L. It is a powerful feeling when we feel super productive.
Thank you for the compliment, but I don't think I'm the best programmer by any means. I'd guess that one thing I'm good at though is planning projects. I display that ability in my Object Oriented Design tutorial series. I only say I'm especially good at that because I have been told that many times by great programmers. I just always try to have fun and everything else works itself out. We all have problems that take forever to resolve, but if we have fun we keep at it :)
Why I did not see this video before. Great video. Thanks for all the amazing shortcuts :) One shortcut that I find myself using too much is to change method signature. Shortcut is Alt + Shift + C when method name is highlighted.
Ctrl-Shift-G lets you see where your current function is being called elsewhere in the project. Click once on a variable and Eclipse automatically highlights them all. Click once on the return type, Eclipse high lights all the return statements within the function.
This is awesome! Ice been searching everywhere for a hotkeys guide for eclipse. Thanks so much. I'd also like to mention I'd be extremely interested in a JUnit tutorial with mention of TDD (test driven development) thanks again!
Fanatastic, my friend! Just what I was looking for! Just went thru your first nine OO lessons and was wondering how to keep up in eclipse. I was taking 5 seconds to get on the other side of the ) sign. 12 down and 589 to go. Hopefully a CS degree's worth of material.
Thank you :) I think that between videos like this and the ones I have on design patterns, object oriented design, refactoring, algorithms, data structures, etc. that I cover most everything you'll need for computer science. That is the goal any way.
This is one of the most important videos I have seen about Java ... thanx do you have a video that clears deeply the idea about Iterable and Iterators?
Dear Derek. Thank you very much for all the useful, great Java videos. Have you done a video to run through key features or tools within the Eclipse IDE, please? Thank you
Hi, How to travel our cursor to different locations of our identifier in Eclipse? In NetBeans I place my cursor on my identifier and pressed ALT + Up/Down.
Hey Derek, I've been using Intellij for a long time, but I'm moving to a new company using entirely Eclipse. Is there a search by file name only feature/shortcut? Intellij is Command + shift + n and it brings up a nice tidy menu on the middle of the screen with all files with that word in the title. In a big app I use this about 900 times a day. Also Idk if you're planning anything else in an eclipse series, but anything on searching through larger projects for files and strings would be dandy!
Another very usefull shortcuts: CTRL+SHIFT+R -> window will pop up, you just type the name of the class and eclipse will redirect you to your desired class immediately !! CTRL+O -> quick navigation between methods/attributes !! Also you can generate getter and setters without using mouse like this: ALT+SHIFT+S, R, ALT+A, O, enter... (similar ALT+SHIFT+S, C/O/S - "c" for basic constructor - "o" for constructor using fields - "s" for toString) hope it helps someone :) happy coding
You use Ruby for making Android apps? I did not know you could do that. I have heard of using C++ for high end gaming on Android but I never looked in to it
Hey! You do C tutorials, I believe. When you get a chance (maybe it would be suited for when you finish your C tutorials), could you maybe do some C++ tutorials? Just a small request! Love your videos and thanks for making them!
Hello derek, I've been working on an android app that recognizes text from the camera but Im kind of stuck in it. I've tried implementing tesseract ocr iin it but i dont know how to do it since there isnt many documentation or tutorials for it. Do you know anything about it that could help me out? Thanks, and by the way, awesome tutorials
Derek, where did you learn how to use opencv in android, because there arent many recourses teaching its use in java. And how do you compile it as an android app, beacuse iopen cv is written in c++?
Hey Derek, Looks like you have forgotten the "ctrl + shift +O" It imports all the libraries the code needs, and removes the ones you don't. this should save you time
Candidly, Derek Can I ask u!How much time you Spend to b a perfect in Java and Android?U are really well Experienced men!Actually while learning java and android efficiently what should we have to be more Careful?Could u plz....
Brilliant Video again! Thank you very much! I checked all videos in your java play list, but could not find any video specificity about Eclipse and its use could you (or anybody) recommend a good video about the whole IDE?
Ctr1 1 quick fix is not functioning as before in my eclipse. It was functioning as expected until a few days ago. It ideally prompts the solution for the error, and on clicking actually does the "quick fix" . Hovering over the red 'x' on the margin, would prompt what the compile error is about. Now, just a window pops up indicating the error, and possible solutions. Does not fix import issues even. Any help appreciated
Thank you :) I'm glad you enjoy the videos. Yes I can definitely cover C++ and I plan to cover it soon.
(I only talk about Windows shortcuts.)
My favorite shortcut that - for some reason - I see not many other people using is Ctrl+Alt+Down to duplicate a selection of lines. As with the Ctrl+D to delete the current line, it also refers to the entire line that the cursor is on. No selection necessary.

+Brax1982 Thank you for taking the time to share your shortcuts :)
I'm happy that you liked it. I made the judgement call to only cover everything that I had memorized. I wasn't sure if that was the best idea or not
Thank you :) I keep trying to improve. You guys give me all the ideas
You sir are a hidden gem on TH-cam. You deserve at least 10 times more subscribers than what you have now. I will spread the word. Thank you.
I'm happy the video helped :) I do my best with each video I make. You are very welcome
I was always directed to thenewboston tutorials for coding. But I have found that the speed and clarity you teach with is much more to my liking. I learn and actually understand more in one of your video's then i do in an entire Software Engineering Lecture at university. Keep up the good work.
Are you a pro at Java now
Thank you for comparing me to the master of video tutorials :) I hope I have a tenth of his subscribers some day. I'm very happy you enjoy the videos. I do my best to teach in a completely different way from the other guys. Ill keep trying to do the best I can
Thank you very much :) I'll cover other Eclipse shortcuts when I cover other languages in the future. I'm glad you liked it
Dear Coach ,
The tutorials just keep getting better.
Thanks for all you do.
I start to sound like a broken record, but you are amazing, I left request for a tutorial 2 days ago, and it's already there. Thanks, Derek!
That works if you change the auto complete code. That is actually a good point. I should have mentioned that
Thank you :) Sorry, but I have never tried to do that. That sounds like one great app! I have been working on a program that can recognize basic images like the difference between a ball and a brick, or a line or a square. I hope to get it to work some day and I'll be sure to give it to you guys
Yes I'll cover that. Thanks for the request
Derek can you make a tutorial on how to use eclipse s debug tools and work space?
I have been thinking about making a restful services tutorial using ruby because that's what I normally use for android. Would that be of interest?
I normally use Java to make Android apps, but I have made cross platform apps using Ruby. Check out Rhodes. It is an open source Ruby-based framework. You can also make web based apps using Ruby. What I was referring to above however is that I normally use Ruby or PHP to create Web Services. I use these languages because they are more cost effective then Java.

Ridiculously amazingly useful, really. Thanks!
Sym Eof Thank you for the nice compliment :)
What an incredible video! I've found Eclipse frustrating to get started with in the past but think it was mainly due to my lack of experience with Android and Java. Some really useful shortcuts here that I will definitely be using! Also, the cheat sheet was a god send!
I'll cover debugging later. I was going to try and cram it in, but decided it would best be covered in it own video
Sorry about the confusion. I am making a desktop app with it now. I can program with c++ though on android
This video is very useful for me to reduce lots of time and I also have watched the total of 95 Java Video Tutorial.
I really appreciate your efforts and I can increase my programming skills through your videos.
+Lester Thank you :) I'm glad you are finding the videos so useful.
Thank you :) I was hoping you guys would give tips!
Yes I am. It has been a fun little hobby for me. I have always believed not enough time has been spent using this technology in the field of AI
Yes I will cover it, but I'm not sure when. I'm having a hard time prioritizing requests now because I'm getting so many. If someone sends me a request like this I can make it in one video. JUnit will take more then one video though. Sorry about that
Camtasia 2 is used to record the screencasts
I search and found your video in the middle of the list I hit your thumbnails. Trusted brand name ;) Thank u bro
I hope it is useful. I received this request many time lately, so I thought it may help :)

Another pretty things i like the most is u used to reply the all comments,only few people used to do this :)
Wow. I've been using eclipse for a long time and never knew many of these shortcut keys. Thank you :)
Thank you very much :) Thank you very much for telling your friends. It is much appreciated!
I'll see what I can do. I guess I normally use Ruby and PHP for that stuff because most of my clients are always looking for cost effective solutions. Those 2 languages are more cost effective then Java. I'll do my best to cover all requests
Thank you :) Yes I'm going to spend a great deal of time making games. It really isn't much harder then most of what I'm covering now.
I'm very happy to have been able to help :)
Thank you :) Yes if you guys leave me a request I can fulfill in one video, Ill gladly make it very quickly. I'm glad you liked it
You're very welcome :) They will save a great deal of time once you memorize them
I'll do my best to upload it tomorrow. You'll be amazed by how easy it is :)
Thank you :) That is the amazing iMovie. Do you guys want me to show you my presentation software? I'll show you exactly what I do step-by-step. I'll do that if I get at least 5 people to say they want to see it.

I learned a lot of shortcut keys on this video. Really good stuff. Thank you so much for presenting such a useful video.
You're very welcome :) Thank you
Ctrl-Shift-G lets you see where your current function is being called elsewhere in the project. Click once on a variable and Eclipse automatically highlights them all. Click once on the return type, Eclipse high lights all the return statements within the function.
command+option+left/right is the most important. It helps us breeze through code while reading.
Very Cool! I didn't know about that one. Thank you for the input :)
This is awesome! Ice been searching everywhere for a hotkeys guide for eclipse. Thanks so much. I'd also like to mention I'd be extremely interested in a JUnit tutorial with mention of TDD (test driven development) thanks again!
Thank you bro really useful video for the eclipse users.Keep posting like similar things.
Great Tutorial! It really helped me to improve my coding speed and reduce faults, e.g. when surrounding code with a loop. Thanks a lot!
Dominic Bühler Thank you :) I'm happy I could help
as always your videos are great for a quick reference and reminding forgotten tips
Fanatastic, my friend! Just what I was looking for!
Just went thru your first nine OO lessons and was wondering how to keep up in eclipse. I was taking 5 seconds to get on the other side of the ) sign. 12 down and 589 to go. Hopefully a CS degree's worth of material.
Thank you :) I think that between videos like this and the ones I have on design patterns, object oriented design, refactoring, algorithms, data structures, etc. that I cover most everything you'll need for computer science. That is the goal any way.
Yes
Please show your presentation tools
Great tuts as always
Your voice is so nice to listen to and great explanation too!
Thank you for the compliment :)
Ctrl + Shift + L.... my new favorite shortcut :D Thanks for the video!
You're very welcome :) I'll do my best to slip JUnit in asap
This is one of the most important videos I have seen about Java ... thanx
do you have a video that clears deeply the idea about Iterable and Iterators?
JUnit is in the works. Thank you for the request
Thank you for the great tips :)
I've seen quite a lot new stuff for me that I'm definitely gonna use^^ And if there is more I would love to see moar some day :)
You're very welcome :) Sorry, but I'm not aloud to provide direct download through youtube
I should have covered that. Thank you :)
Dear Derek. Thank you very much for all the useful, great Java videos. Have you done a video to run through key features or tools within the Eclipse IDE, please?
Thank you
Julian Chu You're very welcome :) This is pretty much the only video on Eclipse specifically. I use it in a ton of tutorials though.
Very neatly explained, and Highly useful.
Thank you :)
Thank you for the tip. That's cool!
Thanks so much for this! P.S. I love the little bulletin board/letter/thumbtack graphics you use in your vids :)
balthazar500 You're very welcome :) I'm glad you like them. They are iMovie transitions.
You don't have to select the whole source to do shift + ctrl + f, if you don't highlight anything, it formats the whole file.
I uploaded it. You'll be amazed by how simple it is
nice tutorial, really can't wait for the next one.
your videos are excellent. Your videos are very much useful to me, Many thanks for that. My warm regards to you.
Thank you very much :) It is my pleasure to be able to help
Thank you for pointing that out. My brain must have stopped working there :)

Martin Cuka Thank you for taking the time to help others :)
Thank you for helping out :)
Thank you Derek Banas !! Greetings from Poland.
I'm very happy that it helped :)
You use Ruby for making Android apps? I did not know you could do that. I have heard of using C++ for high end gaming on Android but I never looked in to it
Hey! You do C tutorials, I believe. When you get a chance (maybe it would be suited for when you finish your C tutorials), could you maybe do some C++ tutorials? Just a small request! Love your videos and thanks for making them!
Superb , love your tutorials!
Random question! What software do you use for those paper cut looking presentations ?
Hello derek, I've been working on an android app that recognizes text from the camera but Im kind of stuck in it. I've tried implementing tesseract ocr iin it but i dont know how to do it since there isnt many documentation or tutorials for it. Do you know anything about it that could help me out? Thanks, and by the way, awesome tutorials
Ctrl+Click to go to method definition is one I use all the time too... Nice video :)
Thank you for sharing :)
Great video! I regret not seeing it years earlier
Thank you :) I'm glad it helped
Derek, where did you learn how to use opencv in android, because there arent many recourses teaching its use in java. And how do you compile it as an android app, beacuse iopen cv is written in c++?
Nice, are you using open cv to do this?
Thats what I was waiting for ..Thank you Derek :)
Hey Derek, Looks like you have forgotten the "ctrl + shift +O"
It imports all the libraries the code needs, and removes the ones you don't.
this should save you time
Simply SUPER. Thanks for your effort DB :)
Azhaguvel A Thank you :) I'm glad I could help.
Candidly, Derek Can I ask u!How much time you Spend to b a perfect in Java and Android?U are really well Experienced men!Actually while learning java and android efficiently what should we have to be more Careful?Could u plz....
Thank you very much for sharing :)
Brilliant Video again! Thank you very much!
I checked all videos in your java play list, but could not find any video specificity about Eclipse and its use could you (or anybody) recommend a good video about the whole IDE?
Lesgunia You're very welcome :) This is the only video I did with it. I really should make an updated one soon.
Please do! It would be so much help!
Hello Derek, have you ever used Code::Blocks ? if so, what do you think about it and do you think that Code::Blocks users should switch to Eclipse ?
Yes sorry about that. I was trying to just use everything that I had memorized and I missed that one.
Ctr1 1 quick fix is not functioning as before in my eclipse. It was functioning as expected until a few days ago. It ideally prompts the solution for the error, and on clicking actually does the "quick fix" . Hovering over the red 'x' on the margin, would prompt what the compile error is about. Now, just a window pops up indicating the error, and possible solutions. Does not fix import issues even. Any help appreciated
Thank you :)
You're very welcome :)
What's that extensions U got installed in eclipse. I guess one is android studio, but what are the others ???
Will you at some point cover JUnit? thanks for the video by the way :D
Hats Off to Derek !!
I started learning java with Eclipse-Oxygen
It was like a breath of fresh air.
very nice and clear delivery.
thanks alot
Thank you very much :)
