Stop browsing through your workspace – Find and open files quickly in Flex Builder/Eclipse
EDIT: Turns out that I could just hit CTRL-SHIFT-R this whole time, so feel free to ignore the rest of this post. Thanks to Harald, Dusty, and Ryan for pointing that out.
If you use Flex Builder or Eclipse on a regular basis, and you want to be faster at development, I can’t recommend the “GotoFile Eclipse Plugin” enough!
If you know the same of a file you want to open, or even just substring of the file name, this plugin lets you quickly find it without browsing through your Workspace. Just type a few characters, hit return, and you’re off! Our YNAB 3 workspace has hundreds of files, so this is a real time saver.
In my previous life as a .NET developer, I used Whole Tomato’s Visual Studio plugin to give me a similar feature and was excited to find this one! Thanks Muermann!
Don’t need an extra plugin. Just press CTRL-Shift-R
Or you can just hit Ctrl+Shift+R to open any file, and Ctrl+Shift+T for classes. It’s an eclipse feature, no plugin needed
What’s wrong with CTRL-SHIFT-R?
Wow! That works even better. I must not have hit upon the “magic string” when I was googling for this, as I could NOT find a reference to this sortcut. I didn’t know what it was called. I think I learn more of what I don’t know with each post I make here!
