Copy lines command issue in eclipse


In Eclipse, the shortcut key to Copy lines is cntrl+alt+down but there is a problem with this shortcut key. Ctrl+alt+down turns the screen upside down in MS windows.
One way to handle this problem is to disable the hot keys from graphic options.

Right-click on your desktop screen and select Graphics options > hotkeys > Disable.

Disable screen rotation
Other way could be to change the Copy Lines command to some other shortkey already not used by Eclipse.

To do this, go to Window à Preferences

Delete the contents of Bindings text field and press cntrl and down arrow and click OK button
In order to test  the command,  Go to any line or select any set of lines and press cntrl+down,  the lines will be copied. So instead of select, copy and paste simply select and duplicate without affecting the clipboard.
