Eclipse Hotkeys and Shortcuts

    Many programmers using Eclipse are having a hard time editing simply because they are yet to use the IDE more efficiently. Here are most of the hotkeys and shortcuts I use and I would like to share these with you. I currently use Eclipse Ganymede, but I have been using these hotkeys since Eclipse 3.1. The hotkeys I use very commonly are the following:

Ctrl+Shift+O Organze imports. This saves you from people telling you to remove unnecessary imports and also obtains the import classes that you forgot to import. Import import import.

Ctrl+Q Go to last edited change. This is useful when you are browsing too much code in other files then forget what file you were currently working on and most importantly, what exact line and column you were.

Alt+Up or Alt+Down Move line up or down. Very useful when moving blocks of code around like putting it inside a loop or rearranging the program logic. Simply select the lines you want to move then use the hotkey.

Ctrl+Shift+T or Ctrl+Shift+R Open Type or Open Resource. Know the class name or the properties file name but forgot which project or package it resides in? Use this hotkey.

Alt+Shift+W, P Have 100+ classes in your project, and dont have time to memorize all names? Use this hotkey to show the the file you are currently working on in the Package Explorer.

Ctrl+D Erase current line. Pressing Home, another Home(to get the indentation spaces), Shift+End, Backspace is replaced by a hotkey.

 

And here are most of the other shortcuts I use (yes I use them all) when working in Eclipse:

Forward History Alt+Right
Go to Line number Ctrl+L
Go to Method Ctrl+O

Dropresize 0.02a is now available for download!

It's 2am already and I can barely open my eyes, so I'll just point you to the download page of Dropresize.

    Dropresize is a system tray application that resizes jpeg images into smaller, more web-friendly sizes.  Just configure the settings, specify the folder you want watched, and drag copies of your photos in the folder.  Dropbox will immediately resize the images in the folder.  You can point your photos folder in Dropbox and instantly create a web-friendly gallery without even opening other tools.  Or you can use it for some other purpose.

 

Download Dropresize here

 

    If you haven't heard about Dropbox, visit here (yes, it is a referral link which gives extra 250mb to you and me on top of Dropbox's free 2gb space.  the additional 250mb space only applies to the first 7 readers who click this link so it's on a first-come, first-served basis).

    Send me a mail if you want to help in alpha testing this program.  Thanks!

How to Easily Download HQ Videos in YouTube

A lot of us youtube addicts and casual watchers encounter videos that are so interesting, we want to actually grab a copy of it and put it in our hard disk for later offline viewing.  There are several (actually lots) of youtube downloaders available and with different methods of saving, but if you want some quick easy-to-remember solution, here's a good option: the KeepDash.

The Keepdash is simply a piece of text: "keep-" (without the quotes) .  You can use it to save Youtube videos in flv or in HD if the video you are using has it.  Simply insert the keepdash between "www." and "youtube.com"

pressing enter on this address bar (or clicking "GO") will transfer you to the KeepTube page containing download links to your video at the bottom of the page:

Just choose which format you want to download and click it.  You can also use your favorite download manager if you have any.

Remembering the KeepDash can be handy especially when you are on somebody else's computer like a friend's house or an internet cafe maybe.
