From my blog: The basic idea behind pair programming is that you have one computer, one keyboard, two heads (one being mostly occupied with typing). There is just one problem, though: If you're a developer like me, you're using keyboard shortcuts. Lots of shortcuts. And you will have your own ways to achieve things. Those ways will be different from everyone else in the team. You're not a clone, are you? Which leads to special shortcuts.

IDEA allows to switch prefs quickly with Ctrl-BackQuote (try that on a German keyboard ...) Eclipse has no way to quickly switch the UI prefs (shortcuts, active toolbars/menus).

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
