Changing Eclipse Exit Shortcut

Question

I'm using eclipse on Ubuntu 12.04 and Ctrl+x closes my Eclipse. I tested Ctrl+x in other applications and it cuts text, which is what I want, so it must be an eclipse shortcut binding.

I checked my Preferences>General>Keys settings and couldn't find an exit/quit/explode eclipse command and when I search for Ctrl+x I only see 'Cut' binded to that key combo.

It has been driving me crazy so any help will be appriciated, you go to cut and omg eclipse is closing lol.

I had a similar problem. Here's how to solve it:

1. When you open Eclipse, go to Window -> Preferences -> General -> Keys.
2. Search for the 'Cut' command. The Binding option should show 'Ctrl+X'. Change the When option from 'In Dialogs and Windows' to 'Editing Text'.
