Eclipse M8 observations

Note: If you’re interested in Eclispe Key Bindings that I use, click here

1. Eclipse key bindings for CVS commands: Let’s say I am in the Java Editor. I just completed making some changes and would like to commit or update the file in question. Or, let’s say I have a file/folder highlighted in the Package Explorer view and would like to run an update or commit command on it. Wouldn’t it be nice to invoke a key binding and it would invoke the relevant CVS command on the file(s) in question. In fact, the only key binding in the category ‘CVS’ in M8 is ‘Add CVS Repository’. Anyone knows any plans on adding some more options in this category?

2. Location of Open and Close Project sub-menu options: I have no idea why Open and Close project options are not available under File menu option. Seems like the right place to me.
3. Ctrl+Shift+R and class files: In Eclipse, Ctrl+Shift+R brings up a dialog which allows you to search for all ‘resources’ in your project. Including “*.class” files. Is there a way to make this not show up in the search results?

4. Ctrl+F6 and Ctrl+F7 “stickiness” issue: These are great key bindings to use. However, I have noticed that when I press ‘Ctrl+F6′ and remove my fingers from the Ctrl key, the popped up/embedded drop-down disappears. In order to make the Ctrl+F6 stick, I have to press Ctrl+F6 and with the Ctrl key pressed down, use the arrow key to move up or down. Then I can release the Ctrl key and..voila - the thing sticks.. Is this the “expected” behavior?
5. Making Alt+Enter work no matter which view you are in: If a project is open, it would be nice to have Alt+Enter work no matter which aspect of the project view you are currently in.
6. Ability to set up a key binding for an Ant target: This particular feature idea from IntelliJ sure would make it super easy when I am working on a project.
