There's a code browsing view (window -> open perspective -> browsing) but i never use it.

For me i only need the following to zip through a sizeable code base with just a few key combos in eclipse:

* F3 - go to definition of thing under cursor

* ctrl+g - search for all usages of thing under cursor (used sparingly, too slow)

* ctrl-shift-t - find & open type

* ctrl-shift-r - find & open resource (these 2 should be merged!)

* ctrl-e + start typing the name of an open window to switch to it

* ctrl+shift+F4 i'm in too deep, close all open editors

* ctrl+/ fold all methods, i never warmed to ctrl+o or F4 for an overview of the code in a module / class

I have a couple of non standard bindings i set for things like show me the version control log for this file.

It all falls apart when you want to navigate within an editor a-la vim motions.
