Searching files in Eclipse

There is no default shortcut to open the "Search a File" dialog directly.

Anyway you can use CTRL + H to open the "Search Dialog".

You can also use CTRL + Shift + L to open the "Key Assist" which will show you all configured shortcuts as a kind of tooltip.

Pressing again CTRL + Shift + L in the "Key Assist", you can directly configure your own shortcuts. Enter "File Search" for the filter and simply set your own key combination.

I often search for a file and want also to open it directly. So I use the "Search for Resource" Dialog called with CTRL + Shift + R.


Use the Window->Preferences menu and select the General-Keys tab to see and change any key binding.

Shortcut for this: Press two times CTRL + Shift + L


If you want to search in files: Ctrl+H and then choose tab File Search.

If you want to search for resources: Ctrl+Shift+R.

If you want to search for Java types: Ctrl+Shift+T.

If you want more shortcut keys: Ctrl+Shift+L.
