How to disable eclipse4 built-in keyboard shortcut?

Eclipse 4.2 seem has some built-in shortcuts, such as Ctrl+P, Alt+C, Alt+X etc, you can not find them from "Window->preferences->General->Keys". I'd like to re-define these shortcuts, e.g. bind Alt+X to run maven build, but when i press Alt+X, at the bottom right corner of Eclipse, it flashes quickly and my mouse is out of control, i think this is because of shortcut conflict.

Anyone who know how to disable the built-in shortcuts? Thanks.

Edit: Ctrl+p is only bind to one action. enter image description here

When i click Ctrl+p, the bottom right corner show, this message is from from eclipse:

Well, the above is the good situation--at least you can choose which action to run. for Alt+P, Alt+c you have no chance to choose, eclipse is flipping and you are out of control.

I found the root cause of this problem, i import all my keys from Eclipse 3.7 to 4.2, most of them works, however some of them conflict but Eclipse fails to show the conflict shortcuts, Let's say, Ctrl+P, this is print shortcut for eclipse by default, in eclipse 3.7 i bind Ctrl+p to another command, after import, eclipse 4.2 shows just like 3.7(see above), however in fact it still has conflict even though it does not show the conflict. I think this might be an eclipse bug. I'm the one who use shortcut extensively. Hope this help others with migrating shortcuts.

Are you certain there isn't something in your OS or another application that is handling those keyboard triggers? If you assign a keyboard shortcut in Eclipse's Preferences, it will indicate when there is a conflict; if you don't see that, then it's not an Eclipse shortcut.
