I regularly find that my index gets out of sync (even with automatic updating enabled). Consequently, I need to select "freshen" or "update" in the project context menu. I'd much prefer to be able to assign a keyboard shortcut to these actions (and to "rebuild" as well).
I second this. I'd also really like to see a shortcut key to **disable/re-enable** the indexer. I work in a huuuuuge mono-repo that sucks up 100% of my 8 cores in the indexer for hours each time I do a git checkout onto a new branch, and I need to disable the indexer during git rebases, merges, etc, then re-enable it when done or else the indexer takes all my resources I need to do the git operations.
Work-around: I added a Ctrl + Shift + I keyboard shortcut to quickly open up my indexer settings so I can easily click to enable/disable the indexer when I need Eclipse NOT to be a resource hog. See my instructions here: https://github.com/ElectricRCAircraftGuy/eRCaGuy_dotfiles/tree/master/eclipse and here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LbuxOsDHfpMksGdpX5X-7l7o_TIIVFPkH2eD23cXUmA/edit?usp=sharing. Search my doc for "Ctrl + Shift + I" for instructions on what I'm talking about. A direct keyboard shortcut would be better still, but this is a good work-around solution for now.
