My backspace key in Eclipse Mars (4.5.0) works like the delete key: it deletes the right character instead of the left one. That's really confusing
Maybe I accidentally used a shortcut key?
I tried to restart Eclipse but it didn't work. I also tried to switch the key binding preferences to "Emacs" scheme before reverting to "Default" but that didn't work either.
Any help appreciated, thank you!
Edit: damn, I just found out that ctrl+x doesn't work any more either!
Ubuntu Eclipse : Backspace key started working like Delete key. In the right side of the window, type "Delete" where it says "type filter text". Find the "Delete Previous" binding and click on it. Click on the " < " button in right of the "Binding" text area and select "Backspace". Click "Apply", then "OK". Done. You are good to go.
Then inside the tree navigate to "General -> Keys". In the right side of the window, type "Delete" where it says "type filter text". Find the COMMAND: Delete, BINDING: Backspace and click on UnBind Command button at the bottom. Click Apply, then OK.
If you want the customized function of the split space bar to get activated, you need to press and hold left and right space bar at the same time for more than 3 seconds.

Got solved:
Go to "Window -> Preferences". Then inside the tree navigate to "General -> Keys".
In the right side of the window, type "Delete" where it says "type filter text".
Find the COMMAND: Delete, BINDING: Backspace and click on UnBind Command button at the bottom. Click Apply, then OK.
Its done.
