As a regular Eclipse user, I find it very useful to adapt keyboard shortcuts to match the ones from Eclipse (such as this one: How do I make Notepad++ delete lines like Eclipse does?).

However, manually changing all shortcuts is kind of tiring, and not always successful. So I wonder whether there is a config available that matches Eclipse shortcuts as closely as possible.

    They can be exported, but someone needs to make a mapping between the Eclipse keywords, and the scintilla/notepad++ keywords for those shortcuts. Not that complicated ultimately, but time consuming. Commented Oct 25, 2012 at 9:25

You can export your current Eclipse keyboard-mapping
(choose from the menu: Window > Preferences > General > Keys > [Export CSV...])
but the "Commands" there are not necessarily named the same in Notepad++.

Also, at the moment (v6.8.8), the Shortcut Mapper in Notepad++ is lacking basic functionality
to sort or find existing actions and their related shortcuts,
not to mention saving/loading shortcut-mappings
(see this discussion in the community for example).

I have tracked my mapping-changes to be saved to this location (in Windows-7) -
c:\Users\[my-user]\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\shortcuts.xml
which gives me basic ability to copy my shortcut-mappings from one PC to another...
