Unbind F1 'Help' keyboard shortcut in eclipse

Question

How can you unbind the F1 keyboard shortcut in Eclipse? I have unbound it using the Windows -> Preferences -> General -> Keys, but it appears to have no effect (

Answer 1

If you installed eclipse in the default location, go to:

C:\Users\[your username]\.p2\pool\plugins

and search for:

org.eclipse.help.base

then, after closing eclipse, add .jbak to the end of the file you found. This should fix the problem. If for whatever reason you need it back, just remove the .jbak from the file name and restart eclipse.

Note: you will need to agree to windows warning and close eclipse before renaming the file.
