I would like to make a cheat sheet presenting the most useful (and time saving) shortcut for Eclipse CDT (C++).

Can you share what are the most useful shortcuts that you use in CDT?

Please, post only general shortcuts (available when doing C++) or CDT specific.

For me, this's one of the most useful key shortcuts, especially when in debug mode:

Alt + ← / → - Go to previous / next cursor position.
