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].
