Emacs+ - Eclipse Extensions for Emacs Expatriates - Now with Rectangle Commands - provides an enhanced Emacs-like experience in the Eclipse text editors. Included are:
  • M-x command execution
  • C-u universal-argument
  • Emacs style selection
  • Emacs style search and query/replace
  • A kill ring for deleted text
  • Balanced expression (s-expression) commands
  • Split editor windows via keystrokes
  • Rectangle commands
  • Named registers and both global and buffer-local mark rings
  • Tags search (without tags)
  • Transposition of characters, words, lines and s-expressions
  • Line and character commands
  • Space and blank line handling
  • Simple text manipulation commands
  • End-of-line comment operations
In cases where the normal Emacs binding interferes with an Eclipse binding, the Emacs binding is preferred. As an optional feature, additional command and convenience override bindings can be installed.

Feature requests made on the EPIC comments page are unlikely to be noticed. Submit RFEs here.

Great, would be a 10 if I could get tab key to indent working with it.. the page mentions an "Indent for Tab" command, but this does not seem to exist, and no attempts to bind Indent Line or other commands to TAB work.

Emacs+ provides an amazing level of emacs compatibility. All the important keybindings are there, even the ones you'd think would be too hard to implement in Eclipse. The developer apparently doesn't sleep; there's a new version every week, sometimes two.

Good work, makes eclipse almost usable! A couple of points: Any chance of fixing TAB to indent instead of inserting a tab character? Also, an (indent-tabs-mode nil) equivalent would be nice to get rid of all tabs. Also, is the source available anywhere?

Works great, I love being able to use the rest of the emacs commands I love within Eclipse. The only thing left to miss is of course macros, but I know those would be challenging to reproduce. I love the window splitting and query replace, I have so missed those! Thanks so much for all the effort!

Provides 95% of a more complete emacs experience for me.

This plugin will make even the most picky of Emacs users feel more at home in Eclipse. The only thing sorely missing is keyboard macros and the ability to pop-up a new window in a separate frame. (E.g., C-X 5 2.) But I suspect that both of these features are quite difficult to implement.

Awesome - my work bought me a license for IntelliJ, but I won't even use it now that I'm so spoiled with this plugin. Thanks to the developer!!

This plugin reproduces fairly well the emacs features it implements, though some I use regularly are missing. Please implement rectangle commands to round this out and I would use it for production.

The best emacs plugin available! Keep up the good work!

This definitely makes Eclipse more usable. Any chance of getting TAB bound to indent-for-tab-command so that it indents the current line appropriately rather than inserting a tab character? Thanks for making this available!
