[CTRL]+[SHIFT]+[K]
Finds the previous occurrence of the highlight text.[CTRL]+[H]
Brings up the Search & Replace dialog.[CTRL]+[SHIFT]+[R]
Open up any file.[CTRL]+[Page Up]
[CTRL}+[Page Down]
Navigation between tabs.[CTRL]+[M]
Maximize/Minimize Current View or Editor[ALT]+[SHIFT]+[X],T
Run class as JUnit Test.
