Good day all, i'd appreciate your help very much. I'm running an Eclipse JEE Kepler and while coding i find it EXTREMELY annoying that i'd have to switch between keyboard languages because it seems as there's a shortcut assigned to Shift+8. This shouldn't really be the case as a * is something very useful and while using a Spanish keyboard it's actually an opening parenthesis "(" this.

Even though i change the language the shortcut is still available so i have to juggle between keyboards to code. I've already checked in Window>Preferences>General>Key (or keyboard can't remember right now haha) and the functions the combination is linked to seemed to be without any keyboard shortcut, searched for the shortcut itself and it wasn't within the list, and even though i've assigned a different shortcut to those functions they STILL remain to be linked to Shift+8,W and Shift+8,I.

Anyone's got an idea how to change this? (as far as i'm concerned it's a bug to me...)

Adding one more, Ctrl+X just closed my Eclipse instance. A window popped up to save so i suppose it's functioning as an Alt+F4. Anyone got a clue how to fix that?
