Is there some feature/bug surrounding the F5 (Refresh) shortcut in Eclipse?

Depending on which workspace I'm currently using and for all I know the position of the moon eclipse turns on and off the built in shortcut for refreshing (F5). If I look it up in the settings it's still set. Yet if I right-click on for example a project I see "Refresh" instead of the normal "Refresh (F5)".

Is anyone else having the same problem or am I an annoyingly unique snowflake?

You can turn on automatic refresh in Eclipse, then theoretically Refresh won't be required at all. Preferences -> General -> Workspace -> Refresh

Do you have any additional plugins installed? I guess there might be a conflict (if two plugins install the same shortcuts in the same context, none of them will work) Can you check the Error Log view for any warnings on the conflict?
