Description jensdeppe 2011-12-20 16:38:15 UTC 
I've just upgraded to Lion and am having some keyboard issues with NB 7.0.1 and 7.1.

With NB 7.0.1 I use the jVi plugin and have found that the keyboard does not repeat - i.e. I only seem to generate a single keypress when holding down a key.

I've also tried NB 7.1 RC2 (without any plugins) and have found that various navigation keys do not work. In particular arrow keys do not work and the delete key does not work. Other keys combos (Undo, close window, etc.) do work.

Mac OS X Lion has replaced the Key Repeat feature with a context menu to insert some characters of the letter.

To disable this feature and allow keys to repeat in Netbeans simply execute the following in a terminal:

    defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false
