I am switching back and forth between eclipse and intellij and am really missing the ability to "right click" using the keyboard when I am in eclipse. I am running OSX Leopard.

Does anyone know if this can be setup in the keys preferences, or is there a plugin that handles simulating a context menu at the current focused component?

As of Eclipse Juno, Shift+F10 works on Mac to bring up the context menu. It's mapped in Preferences | Keys as Show Context Menu.
