I just wasted almost 30 minutes trying to find out how to switch between currently opened tabs in Eclipse. For some reason, in Eclipse, the way you switch from one tab to another isn’t CTRL + Tab or anything close to what you would think it would be. There are actually a few ways to switch between open tabs in eclipse, first some of the least useful ways. CTRL + F6 will give you a list of open tabs that you can scroll through. Alt + (left or right arrows) does switch tabs, but it in a very strange way that seems to have something to do with the order they were opened or modified or something. So, whats the answer?

How to switch tabs in Eclipse?

Ctrl + Page Up, Ctrl + Page Dn

A big thank you to the Object Mentor blog where I found this information.
