Adding Keyboard Shortcuts in Eclipse

Adding keyboard shortcuts can help develop code much faster. For instance, when refactoring it is common practice to move multiple lines of code up, down , right, left. In Eclipse->Window->Preferences->General->Keys, change the following:

Bind "Shift Left" to Shift+Alt+Left
Bind "Shift Right" to Shift+Alt+Right

Also, you may want to show line numbers: In Eclipse->Window->Editors->Text Editors->Show line numbers
