Hi,

One of the things which always put me off using eclipse is its poor integration with the desktop environment, so I'll suggest a small (but noticable) improvement:

In linux the standard shortcut for "redo" is Ctrl+Shift+Z (it may actually be DE dependent, but I'm pretty sure that's standard in both KDE and Gnome). So shouldn't eclipse support this by default (in addition to or instead of the windows shortcut)? It's easy to press and one of the most annoying things with a text editor is undo/redo shortcuts not doing what's expected (I've occasionally lost input this way).

Reproducible: Always

Not sure if it makes sense to change the keybindings for something that's been set in stone for so long.

You're right, removing a well-known shortcut would probably infuriate a lot of users. So is adding a second shortcut feasible?

Ctrl+Shift+Z is just not bound to anything in eclipse?  I'll scan the plugin.xml

I wasn't able to find anything in my 4.2 install, I'll see about adding it for linux.
