How do I hotkey directly to File Search tab in eclipse

+1 A:

As far as I know, the search window tab depend of the open file you're on when calling the search function. So, for example if your on a web.xml file, it will open the "plug-in search" instead of the "java-search".

Edit: there is a way to force the default open tab, by assigning a shortcut to the "File Search" action in the "Keys" preference panel.

Did you click on "Include unbound commands"? Otherwise you wont get that entry!

@Martin, that was it exactly -- I didn't have "Include unbound commands checked." "File Search" did show up in the list after I checked it. Thanks for your help! :-)

Does anybody know why this super smart Ganymede is searching inside of .svn folders (and shows the results found in that folders also)? :((

Is there any option to "tell" him to skip .svn? Also to skip JARs...

Because now it takes eternity to wait his results :(

It seems to be that Europe doesn't look inside .svn during File search...

I think you should exclude your .svn files from your project completely. Use the buildpath options
