Answer 1

Not to a specific launch Configuration , but you can bind a key to run Last run Configuration ,

Windows->preferences->General->Keys->Run last launched external Tool

You can do the following (for #2 and #3), after having those run configurations created:

Go to Run > Run Configuration > Select the run configuration you want > Common > Display in Favorites Menu > Check Run/Debug. This will make it always appear as the first on the menu.

This will make it appear in the menu in Run > History and Run > Debug History, then, you can access it through Alt+R, T, 1 (and 2 and 3) to run your configurations or Alt+R, H, 1 (and 2 and 3) to debug.

And for #1, as Piotr Dobrogost said, you can just use Ctrl+F9 in the current editor and choose which test-cases you want to run (if you select a unit-test -- usually with Ctrl+Shift+Up or Ctrl+Shift+Down -- it'll be pre-selected for you) -- then, if you configured to always relaunch the last launch, as explained in http://www.pydev.org/manual_101_run.html, you can use Ctrl+F11 to relaunch the last launch.

Maybe Eclipse Runner plugin could make it easier for someone to handle launch configurations. It doesn't allow to assign key binding to launch configurations currently but I opened a feature request Key bindings for launch configurations
