>It's possible to do that. Do you want me to add any Eclipse debug shortcut >(alt+shift+d+d, for instance) to the Remote Java Application action?

Having the shortcut for it sounds good to me.

> 1) I don't get what those shortcuts are for and why we want to steal so many shortcuts from eclipse

>The user can define the "ctrl+d+0" shortcut, associate it with a remote application >running on the 8000 port and launch that remote application that's listening on that port >by clicking ctrl+d+0 without using the Debug As menu, for instance.
>I have added 10 shortcuts declaratively because Eclipse doesn't allow adding/changing any >shortcut programmatically.
>Would you like me to remove them all or some of them?

Yes, I do not believe this is the right way nor right place to do it this way.
This is a general problem for any launch configuration and only doing it for "remote debug" is just quirky.

But there are already are ways to attach shortcuts/keybindings to "last launched" and you can also use the "favorites" menu entries to make it even easier.

I suggest to remove this functionality to not muddy the waters and to not steal 10 decent shortcut keys by default.

> It would be helpful if Eclipse could provide a 'debug as' with auto discover of local java processes, somewhat like jconsole does. Eclipse should also auto associate the debug session with the current project. 
> 'debug as' -> 'remote process x'
