    Here is a list of posts on the Internet that recommend cool FireFox plugins:

    Eclipse

    In this post I have wrote Eclipse related tutorials and links.

    Avoid installaing columns4Eclipse plug-in and use Note pad ++ instead

    I was looking for Eclipse plug-in that supports column editing mode. I found columns4Eclipse and installed it to see how it works. Column selection dose not work as it should. Actually you cannot select the columns at all, instead it selects the lines.

    Removing it through Eclipse did not work, which was by doing the following:
    Help --> Software Updates --> Manage configuration --> Revert to Previous

    Although I could not find the plug-in Under Eclipse platform in (Manage configuration), columns4Eclipse buttons and icons continued to show up in Eclipse.



    Finally, I have to:

    - Close Eclipse

    - Then delete columns4Eclipse folders from Eclipse plug-in and feature folders.

    - Start Eclipse from the command prompt with clean option. his is done by typing (eclipse clean) in DOS

    Have another text editor beside Eclipse such as Note pad ++ is very handy, for example for column mode editing. You can select columns in Note pad++ by Alt+Shift+Arrow keys or by combining 'Alt + Left Mouse Click' which puts you in Column Mode Select.

    For a complete list of hotkeys that can be used with Notepad++, check out this link
