Is there a (simple) way to completely and utterly disable all Java
formatting in the Eclipse editor?

That is an Eclipse question, but I appreciate your indulgence because
this problem is slowly driving me insane. I am spending a lot of time
fixing code to make it look good again after it gets mangled by the
automatic formatting. I thought I had removed all formatting keyboard
shortcuts, but I missed something because my code keeps getting
changed. I suspect the culprit to be the Source\Format menu option
because that can be triggered by Alt-S-F which is very close to Alt-F-
S, the File/Save command. So a little finger slip and ... bam! ...
code mangled. Unfortunately, the mangling is not always done where I
am looking (since it is applied to the entire file), so I don't always
know to undo it.

Is it possible to disable or remove a menu item?

Although I have set up the formatting rules to do as little damage as
possible, the rules are not flexible enough to cover everything. My
last resort will be to change the Eclipse code itself, but ... blech.

Thanks for any tips.
