Summary: Missing keys with 3.4RC1 on MacOS X

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE

Description Yann Secq 2002-08-07 15:11:55 UTC
The same problems that occurs with version 3.3.2 :
it is 
impossible to generate the '{' '}' and '[' ']'
characters.
Noprmally, using alt-( alt-) and alt-shift-(
alt-shift-) it 
should work. This bug was fix in version > 3.3.2
so I don't 
understand why it reappears in 3.4RC1.
Anyway, this bug leave netbeans unusable under OS
X (really hard to code without curly braces ;)

editor guys and Tomas, can you look at it? Petr Nejedly told me we had
similar problems in past, as jdk tries to interpret Alt keys itself.
Comment 2 Marian Mirilovic 2002-08-07 15:54:16 UTC
It seems like it's duplicate of issue 11477, there is described what
happends. 

Tomas, should your patch works with NB 3.4 ?
Comment 3 Tomas Hurka 2002-08-07 16:13:36 UTC
Yes, this is the same as issue #11477 and yes, the patch attached to
issue #11477 works with NB 3.4 RC1

*** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 11477 ***

Ok, the patch works fine. Sorry, I should have read the full page.
BTW, if we could add in the MacOs X HOW-TO a little page that
reproduce the part of the thread with a direct link to the patch and
the small text on how to apply it, perhaps average users (like me :)
will not miss this really important point ?
Thank you all for your help.
Comment 5 Yann Secq 2003-07-08 14:32:34 UTC
I have installed Netbeans 3.5 and these problems are now solved (using
standard mac typing, ie. <alt>+'(' => { and <alt>+<shift>+')' -> [ :)

Thanks !
