    <p><strong>Update: for the CSV you can import into Eclipse, check this <a href="http://gist.github.com/319104" rel="noreferrer">Gist</a></strong> <em>[Ed: or not... looks like it's filled with ? marks where the key icons should be]</em></p> <p><strong>Discussion</strong></p> <p>I've avoided Java development in OS X for some time now, only because Eclipse's UI feels extremely inconsistent with OS X's HIG. Not least of these are its fine-under-windows-but-totally-unacceptable-on-a-Mac default key bindings.</p> <p>I'm in the process of fixing the key bindings I can in <code>Preferences -&gt; Keys</code>, but a few are problematic.</p> <p>Screen of the configuration pane if anyone has trouble finding it: <a href="http://i47.tinypic.com/2dm7ow.jpg" rel="noreferrer">alt text http://i47.tinypic.com/2dm7ow.jpg</a></p> <p><strong>Bindings I've changed so far:</strong> <em>[Note: if any of these seem strange, I'm trying to mimic Xcode where possible in the absence of an even broader standard shortcut on the Mac]</em></p> <pre> Name | Old Command | New Command ---------------------------------------------------- Content Assist | Ctrl-Space | Escape Redo | Cmd-Y | Cmd-Shift-Z Find Next | Cmd-K | Cmd-G Find Previous | Shift-Cmd-K | Shift-Cmd-G Backward History| Cmd-[ | *Unbind Command* Forward History | Cmd-] | *Unbind Command* Properties | Alt-Return | Cmd-I Debug | Cmd-F11 | Cmd-Y Run (in Windows)| Cmd-Shift-F11 | Cmd-R Build Clean | *Nothing* | Cmd-Shift-K </pre> <p><strong>Bindings I need help with:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Indent/Outdent selection - Eclipse has these bound to tab &amp; shift-tab, but they don't appear in the Keys dialog or any menu items (so Keyboards.prefpane can't change it eitehr).</li> </ul> <p>I'll edit this question with a few more as I think of them. Because there isn't necessarily a single correct answer and this page may change over time, this is more appropriate as a community wiki page. The goal of this page will be to create a settings export that can be shared and reused by others.</p>

    1. COGood question, but just for the record, Eclipse isn't just un-Mac-like. It's un-anything-else-like. For example, "Preferences" is in the "Window" menu on the Linux version, which is something I've never seen in any other app on any platform. It isn't even consistent with itself in many ways. eg: "Is the setting I'm looking for in General/Appearance/Java, or Java/Appearance?"

    2. COFair point. It's its own little SWT-verse for that matter. Still, making it more Mac-like would improve my (and probably most new-guard software developers) quality of life, so hopefully people can use this thread to posit ideas of how to go about doing that. I'm still struggling to figure out how to override the default shift-tab behavior

    3. CONot necessarily defending the default eclipse shortcut keys, but I might suggest thinking about some of them more closely. The biggest example I can see is content assist. The ESC key is a definite break in your typing cadence which isn't a problem I have had with the Ctl Space default.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
