Eclipse shortcuts for salesforce IDE

Eclipse shortcuts for salesforce IDE

Hi Friends,
As we all know, there is one great saying ‘There are no shortcuts for success’. But here are some shortcuts that can really help you getting success. Yes, I am talking about Force.com IDE shortcuts. Each and every developer should use these shortcuts as these save our significant amount of time that we usually waste and don’t realize.
Here are some of them:
  1. Use CTRL+SHIFT+R, to open the file from package explorer quickly. Would be better if you use ‘*’ in your search strings.
  2. Use CTRL+H to search the files.
  3. Use CTRL+L to navigate to the desired line number. This is extremely useful when your code contains thousands of number of lines.
  4. Use CTRL+D to delete the entire line.
  5. Use F12 to quickly activate the editor.
  6. Use CTRL+K to find the next occurrence of the selected text. You can select a text or any word and press CTRL+K to find the next occurrence of the same text in that file.
  7. Use CTRL+F6 to switch to the next editor.
  8. Open the file -> Right Click -> Compare With -> Local History -> Select the Revision Time -> it will open a comparison window.
  9. Use CTRL+SPACE, for the code context assistance. This is the most common and I think most of eclipse users are aware of this shortcut.
  10. Use CTRL+W to close the current window/editor.
  11. Use ALT+F7 to open the sub tab in the editor like Metadata and Source.
  12. Use ALT+/ to show the correct variable name (type some letters and use this key).
  13. Use CTRL+SHIFT+L to get the context menu help for all the available keyword shortcuts.
We should make our habit of using these shortcuts. These are very helpful and time saving. It will take only a few days to make it a habit and it can benefit you across your career

    Hi There,

    Salesforce most asked interview Q & A being contrived to exist for many projects simply so it can be run will be the first to hit the wall, but those projects where the functions to make existing transactions cheaper in real world applications will find the elusive real world demand.

    Change Sets
    Utilize changesets to send customizations starting with one Salesforce organization then onto the next. For instance, you can make and test another object in a sandbox organization, at that point send it to your production organization utilizing a changeset. Changesets can just contain adjustments you can make through the Setup menu. For instance, you can't utilize a change set to transfer contact records. Change sets contain data about the organization(Metadata). They don't contain information, for example, records.

    I read multiple articles and watched many videos about how to use this tool - and was still confused! Your instructions were easy to understand and made the process simple.

    Thanks and Regards,
    Preethi.
