Ah, I see. I thought you meant you didn't like the keyboard shortcuts, you meant you didn't like the *function* the keyboard shortcuts invoke.
I haven't touched emacs for a long time, or a lot for that matter, but I guess it's a matter of preference. If Eclipse remembers the last search, you could clear it with a few keys. For recenter buffer, you could just press the left-right arrows, the editor should jump to that line, though not "halfway down from the top of the window"[1].
