Eclipse: editing text without a mouse

I have a bandage due to fifth calcaneal damage. Typing is not a problem, I do a few hours, and everything is in order. Using the mouse ... is not possible. It's not about being a performance ninja without losing the time it takes to reach a trackpad or mouse ... it's really an opportunity to do something, or not at all at the moment. In any case, here the question posed is simple and clear:

  • In the Eclipse editor, you can only navigate using the keyboard?

Examples of real things I would like to do without using a mouse:

  • Move cursor to end of line
  • Move the cursor to the beginning of the line.
  • Move the cursor down one line
  • Move the cursor up one line
  • Move cursor one column to the left
  • Move the cursor one column to the right
  • Move the cursor one word to the left.
  • Move the cursor one work to the right.
  • Move the cursor to the end of the word.
  • Move the cursor to the beginning of the word
  • Delete character to the left of the cursor
  • Delete character to the right of the cursor
  • and etc.

I understand that this is already possible using a combination of END, HOME, CTRL / ALT + ARROW_KEY, etc. But this is not as complete as, say, E-Mac or Vim.

The easiest way.

In Vim, I use j, k, h, l ... in Xcode, I use Emacs bindings (CTRL-N, CTRL-P, CTRL-H) ... how can I use Eclipse in a similar way? I heard about the "vim" plugin, but I really need cursor movement, it is. Nothing else.

Should I just create custom shortcuts for each movement ?!

You can do almost everything with the keyboard:
