Eclipse navigation shortcuts

I wish to know which are the Eclipse navigation keyboard shortcuts.

I already use:

Ctrl + Shift + UP or DOWN to navigate trough methods

Ctrl + , or . to navigate between errors

Ctrl + Page UP or DOWN to navigate between tabs

UP or DOWN to navigate trough project structure at "Package Explorer" and SPACE to expand/collapse folders or open files

With those I almost don't use the mouse, I want to know if there's a shortcut to swap between the eclipse inner windows (to console bottom, to code middle, tasks right, explorer left and so on)

Thanks

Best answer for me is rgerganov's answser as it can lead anywhere?

CTRL + 3 = Open Quick access menu

You can also use:

CTRL + F6 = Switch Editors

CTRL + SHIFT + F6 = Switch Editors (reverse)

CTRL + F7 = Switch Views

CTRL + SHIFT + F7 = Switch Views (reverse)

CTRL + F8 = Switch Perspective

CTRL + SHIFT + F8 = Switch Perspective (reverse)

Following BlackVegetable tip & rgerganov answer I discovered the shortcuts I want:

Shift + Alt + Q P = View: Package Explorer

Shift + Alt + Q C = View: Console

And most are accessed by Shift + Alt + Q

There is a very powerful shortcut Ctrl+3 that allows you to go pretty much anywhere. Just type Ctrl+3 and then start typing the name of the view, e.g. "console".

Of course you can always set dedicated shortcuts for different views in Preferences->Keys, like Show View (View: Console)
