I'd find a command-editfield in the statusbar useful, that allows to open files directly, without clicking around in package-explorer or open dialogs. Think of pasting a path, opening a class, directly in this field. Enter. Presto! Think of unixshell-like(**) path-completion via tab key. Think of a command history, navigatable by cursor keys. Think of a keyboard-shortcut putting the cursor immediately into this field. Imagine also other commands (too long or complex for keyboard-shortcuts), that would come in handier textbased than via menus and dialogs, if you want. Motivation: Sometimes, when the machine is under heavy load, navigating by the windows and menus gets a little slow. At other times, I know exactly, to whick package in which project I want to go to, and want to do that as quickly as I'm used to navigate to directories in shells - but got to click-through (or cursor-through) so many packagetree, folder or project nodes. Please don't get me wrong. The eclipse GUI is really great and beautiful. I don't want such a commandfield to allow me to do all and everything ... I just believe that some things, sometimes could be done a little (or a lot) faster that way. (**) automatically appending the fileseparator, as opposed to windows-like path-completion
This is a lot of work to do, as it stands right now. Commands the key bindings now support parameters, but there is a lot of additional work to do to make this work.
