I'm pretty sure there is not a way to do that, but have you used the
Quick Access feature (Ctrl+3)? I think you'll find it very handy. Read
all about it: http://www.google.com/search?q=eclipse+"quick+access"
Hope this helps,
Eric

I don't know why Terminate and Relaunch is not a choice in Quick Access.
But, you can easily do two Quick Access invocations, fist Terminate then
Debug Last Launched.
Ctrl+3
t-e-r-m
<Enter>
then
Ctrl+3 (again)
dll
<enter>
If you're going to just count keystrokes, then I can't have that
conversation without getting frustrated ;-) Suffice it to say that I can
do the above combo in about 2.5 seconds, literally. And my fingers
haven't even memorized it yet... :-)
I also tried to assign a binding to Terminate and Relaunch but could not
get it to work (just Terminate works fine, though). I tried in 3.5M7, so
I'd say a bug report is definitely in order. Might want a separate bug
report to request that Terminate and Relaunch be included in Quick
Assist, too (I have no idea why its not, but I thought the list of
things in Quick Assist was automated; so it might be related to why the
key binding doesn't work).
Hope this helps,
Eric

Of course keystrokes is just a proxy how hard/time consuming the action
is. Nevertheless, its hard for me to imagine that two X Quick Access can
ever compete with one X Ctrl+F2.

But I'm now thinking this is hopeless. If the key bindings are
view-dependent, then I will always have to first switch views before
applying my command correct? Since all of my time goes in to view
switching, I can't gain from keybindings?
Thanks,

I don't think it's hopeless because assigning a key binding to Terminate
(as opposed to Terminate and Relaunch) seemed to work as I would expect,
regardless of what view/editor I was in. A bug report will point out to
the relevant developers that something is amiss with Terminate and Relaunch.
