I've looked in the keyboard shortcuts list in Eclipse but can't find keyboard shortcut to indent source code to the left. Surely there is one?

On Mac (on french keyboard its) cmd + shift + F
In any version of Eclipse IDE for source code indentation.
Select the source code and use the following keys
For default java indentation Ctrl + I
For right indentation Tab
For left indentation Shift + Tab
Ctrl + I (indentation). See at http://www.rossenstoyanchev.org/write/prog/eclipse/eclipse3.html Search for Indentation.
control + shift + F will do the work
i'd rather go to menu source em click on "Cleanup Document"
I thought it was Shift + Tab.
Tab to indent right by four characters
You can use Ctrl + Shift + F which will run your formatter on the file and fix indentations along the way also.
for me the default is Shift + Tab,
you can select the text you want, press Shift + Tab to shift everything on the left, selecting all and pressing Tab shifts everything to the right.
For Left indent
Shift + Tab
For Right indent
simple Tab
Obviously this is only for Pydev, but I've worked out that you can get the very useful functions "Shift Right" and "Shift Left" (mapped by default to CTRL+ALT+. and CTRL+ALT+,) to become useful by changing their keybindings to "Pydev Editor Scope" from "Pydev View"
For Mac Users who using Eclipse Use Cmd + I(Indent) and Cmd + F(Format). But I had worst experience with Cmd + F which breaks the code in to several lines as follows
String A = MyClass.getA(x, y);
if (A != null) {
A = Long.parseLong(0);
}
Where my original code is as follows
String A = MyClass.get(x, y);
if (A != null) {
A = Long.parseLong(0);
}
