Eclipse hot keys don't work in XFCE

I'm using a freshly installed Eclipse indigo on my Fedora 16(64bit) with XFCE desktop. But I have only about half of the hot keys working; for example if I try to run my project with Ctrl + F11 key nothing happens.

This is true for most combinations, for example, like Shift + Ctrl + N for starting new projects.

What is a problem? On my previous Ubuntu everything works fine.

Why Eclipse shortcuts are not working?

My problem was solved when I restored defaults values of my Keys. Go to Window -> Preferences -> General -> Keys. Then, click Restore Defaults button at the bottom, and restart Eclipse.

How do I enable function Keys in eclipse?

The main preference page can be found under Window > Preferences > General > Keys (or faster: Press Ctrl+3, type Keys and press Enter). From here you can see all commands and assign/change their associated keyboard shortcuts.

Some, but not all, of the shortcuts are overridden by the Xfce Windows Manager:

Applications->Settings->Settings Manager->Windows Manager

then click on the Keyboard tab and clear the offending shortcuts.
