Accessibility Features in Eclipse

The Eclipse Help System contains information on Eclipse's Accessibility Features, Keyboard Navigation, and Text Editing Options.

A popup list of currently-assigned keystrokes can be accessed by selecting Key Assist... from the Eclipse Help menu, or by typing Control+Shift+L on Windows and Linux platforms, or Command+Shift+L on a Mac.
