Eclipse 3.4 - Essential hotkeys

-
This is the third part of my Eclipse configuration series. At work we have a new guy who never has used Eclipse before, so he's a little lost when it comes to navigating the code base. I tried to write down a list of hotkeys that would make his life easier, but there are so many of them! Here is a list of my favorite hotkeys grouped by the area of use. I really tried to keep the list short but some shortcuts you just can't live without.

General

  • ctrl+space - The most important hotkey of them all, auto complete.
  • ctrl+m - Maximize the current view.
  • ctrl+3 - Open preferences or any other view.

Navigation

  • f3 - Open declaration.
  • ctrl+o - Quick outline of the class files, great for navigating within a class quickly.
  • ctrl+t - Open the type hierarchy.
  • ctrl+shift+g - Get a list of all methods that calls the current method.
  • ctrl+k - Next occurrence of the currently selected text.
  • ctrl+. - Goto the next error or warning, use ',' for the previous.
  • ctrl+shift+r - Open a resource.
  • ctrl+shift+t - Open a type.
  • ctrl+q - Goto last edit position.

Refactor and source generation

  • ctrl+1 - Quick fix! A lot of great functionality.
  • ctrl+2, L - Extract selection to local variable.
  • ctrl+alt+r - Rename the current variable, method or class
  • ctrl+shift+o - Add imports for unknown classes and remove unused.
  • ctrl+shift+m - Try to import the class that the cursor stands on.
  • alt+shift+s, r - Generate setters/getters from fields.

jQuery floating table header plugin

-
A jQuery plugin that makes the header of a table floating if the original header isn't visible due to scrolling. The plugin will automatically choose the thead tag as the header for a table. If thead isn't found it will search for rows marked with the class 'floating'. The behavior can be changed by the settings forceClass and markingClass. News 2012-08-19 This plugin is no longer maintained by me and this page will therefore not be updated anymore. 2011-01-04 1.4.0 ! Lazy loading of tables and performance optimations by Jason Axley 2010-08-02 1.3.0 ! Better ie6 support, http://plugins.jquery.com/node/16655 Fixed parameter name typo, http://plugins.jquery.com/node/16819 2010-07-08 1.2.0 ! Fixed a few bugs and added reinit and recalculate functions to the table. 2009-10-19 1.1.0 ! Better compatibility, better tested. There are still some problems with IE6 that i would like to have some help with. 2009-10-15 1.0.7 is out! With all fixes made

Seascape - OpenVR adaptation of a 4k intro

-
Image
At Revision this year I competed in the 4k intro competition with an intro called 'falling'. Because I've been doing a lot of VR related stuff lately I decided to convert the intro into an interactive VR experience(?). The original shader is a single raymarched scene which means that demo is very demanding on the GPU. But you can provide a scale factor for the framebuffers on the command line to get acceptable framerate. The binaries are compiled for Windows 10 and can be downloaded here . I suggest putting on some nice background music like  Röyksopp  for maximum effect. If you're not that into VR you can go over to Shadertoy and watch the intro instead,  https://www.shadertoy.com/view/4dcSDN .
