Eclipse rebinding delete line to ctrl+shift+d does not work

I'm trying to have eclipse (Luna and Kepler on Ubuntu 12.04) duplicate a line using ctrl+d (like other editors do) and delete it using ctrl+shift+d.

I tried rebinding delete line to ctrl+shift+d, but even if I leave everything else at their default assignments, it simply does not work.

Rebinding line duplication to ctrl+shift+d works perfectly though.

Can anybody tell me please why line deletion is not properly bound to ctrl+shift+d while line duplication could be (there are no binding conflicts in either case)?

Also, is there a way to make delete line work with ctrl+shift+d?

Can not reproduce, using Debian 6 and Eclipse Helios (guess I should upgrade some time...). Did you remove the binding for Ctrl+D before trying to bind it to the other function? – tobias_k
I used eclipse Luna and Kepler, both with the same effect. I did remove the bindings (and applied the changes) to both line duplication and deletion before trying to assign ctrl+shift+d to delete line. It still does not work. – user2565010
Now on Luna, still works fine. Have you tried using a fresh workspace, just to narrow down the problem? Or maybe it's a conflict with Ubuntu's own key bindings... maybe check out the keyboard configuration. – tobias_k

I had this problem too. Initially, Ctrl+D did not work at all. Then I changed the shortcut to Ctrl+Shift+D, which only worked after I restart eclipse.

(For GTK users (for instance on Ubunutu)): I wanted to bind sort members to Ctrl+Shift+D, but it wasn't working as GTK Debugger was launched on Ctrl+Shift+D. I was able to disable the GTK Debugger key by this key in terminal:

gsettings set org.gtk.Settings.Debug enable-inspector-keybinding false
