Ctrl button doesn't work in Eclipse

I use Ubuntu (64 bit). I saw some discussions about Ctrl+Space, but in my case I can't do Ctrl+S, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+Shift+F and, probably, something else (all these cases work fine in other programs, so it's not a keyboard problem). It doesn't work, then it does, then it doesn't again. Is there a way to fix that? Thanks in advance.

Similar problem

Looks like there are some key combination which screw up with the focus in the eclipse editor. Try using the shortcut for Focus Return

Shift+Alt+f

I am also using 64-bit Ubuntu (12.04 now, 11.10 before that) and Eclipse. I was having similar problems like what you are describing, until I realized that keyboard input method/layout settings actually matter in Ubuntu (while it does not in Mac OS or Windows) while using copy/paste. If you are using two keyboard layouts (e.g. I am using English and Bulgarian), Ctrl-C / Ctrl-V will not work with the non-English layout. If it does no work, double-check the current keyboard layout. It took me awhile to figure that out - hope it would help you too.
