What's the fastest way to open a LogCat view?

Most of the time I run the project. I need to open / increase the LogCat and then minimize it. Usually it takes a few clicks with the mouse.

Click the LogCat icon in the Debug perspective ctrl + M to enlarge it and then click the minimize icon.

I wonder if there is a faster way, hopefully without having to click on the mouse.

Go to Window -> Settings. Then go to General -> Keys. Find the entry "Show View (View: Local)" Go to Binding and press a key (for example, F10).



I personally use two screens for development. Main window on the main screen and Logcat, File Explorer and Console on the second.

If I understood your problem correctly, you already have the LogCat view open. But, when you want to maximize it, it's a pain to double-click it every time.



Solution: Use Ctrl + F7 to switch between views such as "LogCat", "Console", "Editor", etc. Then, when you are in a particular mode, just use Ctrl + M to enlarge the view in full screen mode.

I personally think Eclipse is not the best place to look at the logcat (it's already as heavy as the default and you are investing more in it ...).

So, I recommend the good old command line (Linux):

$ adb logcat -v time

I created a logcat color corrector to distinguish important stuff: https://bitbucket.org/brunobraga/logcat-colorize
