However, one of the 1st customizations I make to a new Eclipse workspace is to remap the ctrl+F6 key to ctrl+tab (and the ctrl+shift+F6 to ctrl+shift+tab), via Preferences -> General -> Keys. I don't know about you - but I can't reach ctrl+F6 with one hand, whilst ctrl+tab is very easy one-handed (and common) combination.

Personally, I like ctrl+e more than ctrl+f6, as you can quickly filter this list by typing a part of the filename (supports wildcards!).
