One of the most annoying “features” in Eclipse is the mini tabs, also called Property Pages, which are used by the WTP XML editor and others. Why? Because if you use Ctrl-PageUp/Down to switch tabs, as I do, then you can only switch between the property pages once you’ve hit an editor which has property pages. This forces you to either use the mouse to select another editor, or to use Ctrl-F6. That’s just plain wrong.
Luckily, someone has reported this as a bug, so I’m hoping it will be fixed at some point.
