That's not what I meant.  Sure, you can set a key to a particular function,
but when that function behaves differently than you'd like, you're out of
luck.  In particular, eclipse's handling of incremental search is very
different (I'd say annoying) compared to emacs.  In emacs, I can jump around
in a file using incremental search and the way it saves the point extremely
fast.  Eclipse forces you to use escape to stop the search, and then seems
to remember the last search next time you start an incremental search.  So
incremental search (which I use all the time in emacs) was pretty useless
for me in eclipse.  And my other point was about a buffer recenter command.
Eclipse didn't have one, so there's no way you can bind it to a key.    I
actually searched the bug list and saw bugs describing the behavior I saw
that were over a year old, and that had been deferred for several releases.
So I tried to see how hard it would be to make an extension and gave up
after several hours.   I've made custom macros/extensions in many other
editors/IDEs and had no problems before, but I couldn't find any good
tutorials or docs describing how to do what I wanted to do.

I should probably check and see if anything's changed in 3.2 (last time I
looked was 3.1).

You just didn't find the right screen. All keyboard bindings are
customizable.
