Eclipse launch shortcuts for debug history


The Run > Debug History menu item in Eclipse (Helios) contains a MRU list of debug history. These items are numbered from 1 to N suggesting that there is probably some keyboard shortcut or keyboard sequence I should be able to enter to relaunch a previous program but I cannot figure out what they might be. Specifically, if I want to relaunch the debug history item number 2, what must I type to use this feature?

I know that there is the Window > Preference > General > Key settings page which lists the "Debug Android Application binding "Alt+Shift_A, D". This seems like exactly what I want but I can't seem to use it or rebind it to some custom key combination that works for me. Please tell me how to most easily relaunch Android apps in the debugger?


Solution

  • One alternative is to use the accelerator keys to navigate the menu.

    On my computer it is:

    Alt + R, H, Number

    Alt+R gets you to get to Run menu, then H for Debug History, then one of the numbered alternatives.

    To make a run configuration always be visible in the Debug or Run history menus one can do the following:

    Select the Run menu → Run Configurations[some config]Common, then check Display in favourites box.
