Autocomplete for developing Blender add-ons in the Eclipse IDE

The Eclipse IDE, like PyCharm, and Visual Studio Code, is one of the most popular IDEs for development, including Blender add-ons development. To improve the convenience of developing Blender add-ons in the Eclipse IDE, we can add an autocomplete to it – the code completion for the Blender Python API.

Switching between vertex-edges-faces selection by ctrl+tab

In Blender 2.79, in mesh edit mode to switch between the selection of vertices-edges-polygons a drop-down menu called by the ctrl+tab keycode was used. In 2.9 and later versions, the selection through this menu has been replaced with pressing the 1-2-3 keycodes. However, if necessary, the selection via the drop-down menu can be returned back.
