Eclipse navigate to next/previous marked occurrence
EclipseEclipse Problem Overview
Eclipse has the Mark Occurrences feature where it highlights all occurrences of a selected variable/method. Is there a way to navigate to next or previous marked occurrence?
Eclipse Solutions
Solution 1 - Eclipse
To skip between highlighted occurrences only, try the following:
-
Above the editor Window, select the down arrow next to the next annotation button.
-
Adjust the selection so that only "Occurrences" is marked.
Now, when you click on an item to highlight it, you can skip forwards and backwards to other occurrences using Ctrl+(comma) and Ctrl+(period).
Solution 2 - Eclipse
After selecting a piece of text:
-
Next occurrence is ctrl+k.
-
Previous occurrence is ctrl+shift+k.
Solution 3 - Eclipse
If you are looking to navigate through variables / methods defined in the same class, a quicker way to do this would be to select ( highlight ) the variable / method name you want to navigate to and use Alt + Shift + R to get into the refactoring mode and then use Tab or Shift + Tab.
-
Tab - takes you to the next occurrence
-
Shift + Tab - takes you to the previous occurrence
This way will save you from reaching mere text matches ( including those in comments ), as how Ctrl + K behaves. So you are taken through only "valid" occurrences.
Solution 4 - Eclipse
Use Ctrl+> or Ctrl+<
and it's quite easy to remember because > < works as arrow pointing in the direction where you navigate.
