At present there is no short cut key to skip the current loop in JDT debugger. We have F7(Step return) key which executes all instructions in the current method and keeps the debug cursor at the next statement after the method call. But to skip loops(for, do-while or while) in the similar way there is no short cut key. See the discussion at stack overflow here http://stackoverflow.com/q/20491453/1391924
As suggested by someone in the Stack Overflow thread, the closest we have is "Run to line", which is useful not just in this case, but in many other scenarios. The feature you are requesting is very narrow in scope and I doubt we want a short-cut just for that.
But while working on my laptop the screen size will be less and get very less space for my editor. So need to scroll more to reach end of the loop. Also in case of embedded loops it's difficult to judge the end and start of the loops. I need to scroll back and forth to come to the end or start of each loop. Again I know the short cuts to go to matching brackets or scope selection but there is no escape other than scrolling back or forth to go to start or end of the loop.
