Can not unbind the key End to "text end" on the Eclipse Juno

Any ideas?
Eclipse always asks me if "Text end" should be executed or "Line end" should be executed when I press the key END.
After I unbind the key bind of "Text end" on Preferences, Eclipse still asks me.

I'm using Kepler version in Linux.

Close eclipse and open it solved my problem with home/end keys.

Apparently there is a bug in Juno such that there appears to be a key conflict for the HOME and END keys even when the preferences don't indicate one. The restore defaults button does not correct the problem unless you first create a conflict manually, and then use the restore defaults button.

  1. Go to Window->Preferences->General->Keys
  2. Make "Line Start" and "Text Start" both use ONLY the HOME key, to create a conflict.
  3. Make "Line End" and "Text End" both use ONLY the END key, to create a conflict.
  4. Click Apply and then OK
  5. Go again to Window->Preferences->General->Keys
  6. Click "Restore Defaults"
  7. Click Apply and then OK

This should put things back into sync, and fix the problem; at least it did for me on Juno for 32-bit Windows 7.

Sometimes when I do not have time to mess with making the conflict and resetting in Kepler/CFEclipse, adding Shift still works to get End, Ctrl+End, Home and Ctrl+Home to select the text, and then remember to use the left arrow to unselect after Home and right arrow to unselect after End.
