Eclipse key bindings restored to default upon startup

I have a problem with custom keybindings in eclipse, since it seems i can't find anyone with the same problem i guess i am the one missing something.

When i define customised keybindings in Windows->preference then General->keys, it works just fine. (exemples: changinq redo from ctrl+y to ctrl+shift+z and unbinding ctrl+art+p).

the problem: When i restart the eclipse ide, those bindings are reset.

I thought my workspace was corrupt so i tried on a fresh eclipse install with newly created workspace and project... same thing.

runing eclipse neon (4.6) but problem was also on eclipse mars (4.5.2). all under windows 7.

Thank you.

Ok, I know what i missed:

Oomph "preference recorder". (tadaaa). (in windows->prefereces, then Oomph->setup tasks->preference recorder.)

It is strange that i never bumped into this before. I had this probleme for weeks and "googled" a lot about "eclipse key bindings", but only found out when i clicked on "Review IDE configuration settings - enable preference recorder" on the new neon Welcome view.

Anyway, Problem solved.
