I have searched the Web for this, but with no luck. Any idea?
Thanks.

As described here, you can set emacs key binding to work in component editor in Eclipse
Go to Preferences -> General -> Keys.
- Change Scheme to Emacs if you haven't done so already, so you can easily spot the emacs key bindings.
- Sort by Category and look at the "
Text Editing" categories - Find the commands that you care about, e.g.
Next Column,Previous Column - Select that command and click "
Copy Command" - Set the binding to the key by pressing the keys, e.g. press
Control-fto generate "^F". - Change "
When:" to "Editing Components". - Repeat for all the key bindings you care about.
So if, in emacs, selection is done by setting the mark (Control-Space) at the start of the region, then moving the point to to the end of the region, you could associate the appropriate shortcut to:
Text Editing > Select Text Start
Text Editing > Select Text End

After binding "Control-Space" to the command "Select Text Start", I found that the eclipse editor always highlight the region which ranges from the first line of current file to the mark. Any suggestion?Thanks again.

I will look again at the various select command, but if none fit the expected behavior, it will be tricky: a command and its associated key would have to be defined in order to properly select the text.

Try using the Emacs+ plugin available here:

It provides a HUGE range of functionality - including the selection highlighting that you're looking for - that really helps the move from Emacs. I've only been using it for a couple of days, but it appears stable and integrates very well with the editor.
