Description Fredrik Attebrant CLA 2015-08-11 02:42:12 EDT 
Now that Eclipse finally supports proper splitting of editors horizontally or vertically with the "Toggle Editor split" commands (awesome, thanks!), it would be great to have a command (and a keybinding) which allows the user to jump between the two panes without using the mouse.
Comment 1 Brian de Alwis CLA 2015-08-11 10:46:43 EDT 
Any suggestions on the keybinding?
Comment 2 Fredrik Attebrant CLA 2015-08-17 03:10:48 EDT 
Finding an available and good keybinding is tricky.
How about Ctrl+Alt+Right to jump to the "other" split pane?
Comment 3 Patrik Suzzi CLA 2016-05-25 13:25:28 EDT 
In windows I observed that:
 Ctrl+PagDown (Ctrl+PagUp) moves to the next (previous) open tab. 

So we could use Ctrl+Shift+PagDown (Ctrl+Shift+PagUp) to move to the next (previous) split pane. 


Note: For now we can not use Ctrl+tab to switch (Bug 206299)

Open e.g. a Java file in the editor.
Split the screen.
Pressing Ctrl+E now lists the file twice, allowing jumping between the split sections.

With this I consider this resolved.
