I searched and was very surprised that I can't find a possibility to make CTRL+A, CTRL+E work. So I can jump to the beginning or end of the line. I'm working on a Mac and don't have Pos1 or Home Button on my keyboard.

I'm pretty used to it, because everywhere I need it, it exists, not so in eclipse.

    On a modern Mac keyboard, The Fn+Up/Down/Left/Right key combinations are substitutes for the PC PgUp/PgDn/Home/End keys. – nitind Aug 21 '12 at 03:48

When you set custom keys in eclipse - just make sure that the keys you assign are not already assigned to different actions. e.g.

  1. enter "ctrl+a" into the filter field and "unbind" the shortcut from all actions that you don't need
  2. select action you want ("line start"), put cursor in "Binding" field and click Ctrl+A

  • Already did that, but was searching for "begin", "beginning", "go to". Thank you for the exact action name! – seb Aug 21 '12 at 14:42
  • Unfortunately, I've not set any custom keys... Ctrl E and Ctrl A were broken out-of-the-box – chrips Aug 13 '17 at 05:34

Another option I found was:

  1. going to preferences
  2. to general -> Editors -> keys
  3. from Scheme select Emacs
  4. Sorry I tried to post a pic, but apparently I need more points...

Home (goes to beginning of the line),End(goes to end of the line) works for me )
