Eclipse Key Preferences; Debugging; Adding A "Watch Expression" Using The Keyboard

Question

How do I define a custom key binding in eclipse?

I have to admit, for a FREE PRODUCT, Eclipse really delivers. However, sometimes I have to scratch my head about certain missing features...

Eclipse has over ELEVEN HUNDRED different key bindings.

I would like to use one of those KeyBindings to add a "Watch" Expression to the expressions window, while debugging.

Here is an additional screenshot showing that I already understand the "filter" process. I have set key-bindings for everything I could find pertaining to "Watch", but as you can see it doesn't show up in my right-click menu, and does not function when I use the defined keyboard shortcut.

Despite the prevailing opinion that this is "blatant whining", It is also a legitimate problem for me.

Please help.

Answer 1

I just tried it and it works: In the given dialog I entered the word watch as the filter text. The list of key bindings was reduced to three elements. I chose watch and gave a new key binding and it worked.

EDIT:

Please try to unbind the other key bindings that occupy Ctrl+F7 or give Watch another unique key binding.
