Use of Progress View

When ever i update my code from repository , eclipse shows update status at the bottom right corner ...many times i was nt really sure whether its getting hanged or progressing...so wanted to find a way to see the progress of update task...In the list of views given by eclipse i observed progress view and when i opened it , its showing the progress of updates..then i realized i never used this view before...
If u want to see progress of any task eclipse is doing say updates, synchronizing or anything...u can see progress in this view...

Ever dreamt of opening Views, Perspectives, Commands, etc. - by just typing their name

What i usually do to open any view or perspective or some other is like to go through steps Window/ShowView/MyView , just now realized that i wasted lot of time...Came to know from my lead that using Ctrl+3 keyboard Shortcut we can open them with out above steps..It seems this feature is introduced in Eclipse 3.3 M7 ...Make use of it...
