how to change default XML editor?

On the Eclipse toolbar, select Window → Preferences Set the font size, General → Appearance → Colors and Fonts → Java → Java Editor Text Font). I know how to change the font of 'Java editor' in Eclipse in menu Windows → Preferences → Appearance → Colors and Fonts, but I could not find an option for changing the font of 'layout editor' for files like myLayout.xml or strings.xml. On the Eclipse toolbar, select Window → Preferences, set the font size (General → Appearance → Colors and Fonts → Basic → Text Font).

If it's the XML Editor included in Galileo that you're using, you
can also get to the source directly by switching to the Source tab
(it's usually at the bottom of the editor pane).

We do refactoring most of the time when writing code. Thus, using shortcut keys can boost your productivity. Here, we round up a list of shortcut keys used for code refactoring Java code in Eclipse IDE.1. Alt + Shift + R: Renames a variable, a method, a class or even a package name. This is the most frequently used shortcut in code refactoring. Select whole name of the class, method or variable you want to rename, and then press this shortcut:Type new name and press Enter when done, Eclipse automatically updates all related references for the new name, including ones found in other classes.2. Ctrl + 2, R: Renames a variable, a method or a class name locally in the current file. Eclipse doesn’t search outside references hence this renaming is faster than the Alt + Shift +R shortcut. However, use this shortcut with care: only for names used locally in the current file:3. Alt + Shift + V: Moves a class, method to another destination. For example, select a class name and press this shortcut, the Move dialog appears. Choose a destination and then click OK:

4. Alt + Shift + T: Shows refactor context menu. This shortcut allows you to access a full list of refactoring operations which are possible for current context:Change font in eclipse editor windows 105. Alt + Shift + CChange: Changes signature of a method. Place the cursor inside a method or select method name, and then press this shortcut. The

Change Method Signature dialog appears. You can change various elements of method signature such as access modifier, return type, parameters, exceptions, etc:6. Alt + Shift + M: Extracts a selection to a method. This helps you move a selected block of code to a separate method with ease. For example:The

Extract Method dialog appears. Enter new method name and specify access modifier, parameters list, and then click OKEclipse to do the refactoring:7. Alt + Shift + L: Extracts local variable from an expression. For example:Press this shortcut key brings the Extract Local Variable dialog which allows you to name the local variable:Click OK to do the refactoring, and here’s the result:8. Alt + Shift + I: Inlines a selected local variable, method or constant if possible. Eclipse replaces the selection with its declaration and puts it directly into the statement. For example:If the selection is possible to inline, Eclipse will ask to confirm:Click OK to do proceed, here’s the result:
