Key Shortcut for Eclipse Imports

JavaEclipse

Java Problem Overview


It's been a while since I last used Eclipse. I used to love this handy key shortcut that added all the imports to the top of the source file, but I've forgotten it. Does anyone know what this shortcut is?

Solution 4 - Java

You also can enable this import as automatic operation. In the properties dialog of your Java projects, enable organize imports via Java Editor - Save Action. After saving your Java files, IDE will do organizing imports, formatting code and so on for you.

Solution 5 - Java

IntelliJ just inserts them automagically; no shortcut required. If the class name is ambiguous, it'll show me the list of possibilities to choose from. It reads my mind....

Solution 6 - Java

Ctrl+Space : Show Imports

This displays imports as you're typing a non-standard class name provided the proper references have been added to the project.

This works on partial or complete class names as you are typing them or after the fact (Just place the cursor back on the class name with squigglies).

Solution 7 - Java

CTRL + 1 can also be used which will suggest to import.

Solution 8 - Java

For static import select the field and press Ctrl+Shift+M

Solution 9 - Java

Yes. you can't remember all the shortcuts. You will forget many of them for sure. In this way, you can recall it and get the work done quickly.

Press Ctrl+3

And type whatever the hell you want :) It's a shortcut for shortcuts
