EGit keyboard bindings alt-cmd-C, alt-cmd-I and alt-cmd-M conflict with Java Refactor bindings for Change Method Signature, Inline and Extract Method, respectively. Since these are basically *the* most often used refactoring when coding Java, this is really annoying and inhibits productivity.

What's even worse, trying to unbind the Git commands is buggy, as it often unbinds the Java commands as well. Moreover, unbinding the Git commands does not always seem to persist between restarts!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Code some Java and select a piece of code.
2. Press alt-cmd-C/I/M to refactor.

Expected behavior: The code is refactored.

Observed behavior: The code is replaced by a strange character and a yellow toaster box pops up in the lower left, prompting you to select what you actually meant to do. Very annoying!

(Update for correctness: Toaster box appears in the lower right, not left.)
