I am also a big fan of Vim and Eclipse as well. One of the biggest productivity drains I have found is reliance on the mouse. If you think about every time you have to consciously move your hand from the keyboard in order to make an application do something using the mouse, you will see how unproductive this is.
<br><br>So with both Eclipse and Vim, I have decided that I have to learn all of the shortcuts necessary in order to get detox from using the mouse.<br><br>With Vim, Zach mentioned the file navigation. The way that I accomplish the file navigation without the mouse in Vim is through the ":Explore" command. This will change Vim so that it is in the file browser mode. Another neat trick is to use the ":Sexplore" which will split your Vim session, keeping open the file you are currently editing and open another editor / browser to browse the file system. Of course with both of these commands, you are able to put in the starting location of where you want to browse files.
<br><br>In Eclipse, I am a huge fan of the shortcuts. The two main ones that relate to this discussion are the Ctrl+Shift+R, which will open a Resource browser that will allow you to start typing the file that you want to bring up in the editor. This works great, because as you are typing the list of search matches slowly begin to dwindle, until you are left with the one of your choice. The other shortcut is the Ctrl+Shift+T, which is specifically used for searching across types. The best thing of all has to be that you can use '*' in order to match as well.
