Backspace key is reverted in Eclipse Mars

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!
