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
