ctrl alt down up left right takes precedence over eclipse settings as hot keys  As an alternative  I try different approach   Step 1  Triple click the line you want to copy  amp  press  Ctrl - C  This will select  amp  copy that entire line along with the  new line    Step 2  Put your cursor at the starting of the line where you want to to paste your copied line  amp  press  Ctrl - V   This will paste that entire line  amp  will push previous existing line to the new line  which we wanted in the first place

I am using Windows 7  To disable that all I did is to Right click on the Windows desktop and select  Graphics Properties  - Options  Then selected  Off  at the left side on the resulting screen  This disabled all hotkey combination  I think there is no way to disable only some them  its all or none  Anyway I didn t need them  So now crtl Alt Up and Crtl Alt down works for me in Eclipse and my screen stays same     I think similar option also exist in other versions of Windows  Have fun

You have to turn off the graphics hot keys that flip the screen  If you re on Windows  you need to right click on the Windows desktop and select  Graphics Properties      or something similar depending on your version of Windows   This will bring up a screen where you can manage graphics and display options  look for a place where you can disable hot keys  sometimes it s hidden under something like  Options and Support    Turn off the CTRL   ALT     and CTRL   ALT     hotkeys  alternatively you can just disable all graphics hot keys if you re not using them

Disabling the hot keys for the Intel Driver worked for me for Windows 7  However  for Windows 8  when I tried that  it prevented eclipse from getting the Ctrl-Alt-Down keystoke  I had to change the Intel driver key binding to Ctrl-Alt-F10  or something else it will accept   Eclipse then gets the Ctrl-Alt-Down and copies the line

If you want to copy a line to the clipboard you can also use the trick   Ctrl-Alt-Down followed by Ctrl-X  The drawback is that the file where you copy the line from becomes dirty

Ctrl-D would delete a line Ctrl-Z would undo deletion  with highlithing entire line Ctrl-X C cut or copy entire line   The advantage over Ctrl-Alt-Down followed by Ctrl-X suggested by other users is that it doesn t make eclipse think that the file was changed in any way  It s also faster and causes no problems even if the user has rotating screen issue with Ctrl-Alt-Down Up keyboard shorcut  So there s no need to remap shorcuts for this   Another way to go would be hitting Alt-Shift-Up until the entire line gets selected  If you ve gone too far  of course you can select less with Alt-Shift-Down

The Ctrl Alt Down   Ctrl Alt Up flips my screen so I overrode that in the Eclipse shortcuts via  Window    Preferences    General    Keys   Search for  dupl  to find the Duplicate Lines command   I overrode the default and chose Ctrl Shift D   For me  that s easy to remember just like Ctrl D to delete lines
