How to highlight the selection in emacs keybinding of eclipse?

I have searched the Web for this, but with no luck. Any idea?

Thanks.

From stackoverflow

• As described here, you can set emacs key binding to work in component editor in Eclipse

  Go to Preferences -> General -> Keys.

  • Change Scheme to Emacs if you haven't done so already, so you can easily spot the emacs key bindings.
  • Sort by Category and look at the "Text Editing" categories
  • Find the commands that you care about, e.g. Next Column, Previous Column
  • Select that command and click "Copy Command"
  • Set the binding to the key by pressing the keys, e.g. press Control-f to generate "^F".
  • Change "When:" to "Editing Components".
  • Repeat for all the key bindings you care about.

  So if, in emacs, selection is done by setting the mark (Control-Space) at the start of the region, then moving the point to to the end of the region, you could associate the appropriate shortcut to:

  Text Editing > Select Text Start
  Text Editing > Select Text End
  

  Angus : After binding "Control-Space" to the command "Select Text Start", I found that the eclipse editor always highlight the region which ranges from the first line of current file to the mark. Any suggestion? Thanks again.

  VonC : I will look again at the various select command, but if none fit the expected behavior, it will be tricky: a command and its associated key would have to be defined in order to properly select the text.

• Try using the Emacs+ plugin available here:

  It provides a HUGE range of functionality - including the selection highlighting that you're looking for - that really helps the move from Emacs. I've only been using it for a couple of days, but it appears stable and integrates very well with the editor.
