Description Klaus Myrseth 2001-01-09 16:54:49 UTC 
two of the most important keys on my keyboard will not respond to key presses..

These are "<" and ">"....

This renders me unable to code inside of NetBeans or Forte for that sake. I keep
turning back to vi, and that is anoying when there exists an excelent tool to
use instead :)
Comment 1 Klaus Myrseth 2001-01-09 16:56:59 UTC 
Looks like the german keyboard allso has this error, see bug number 8070...
Comment 2 Jan Lahoda 2001-02-09 16:55:59 UTC 
Please, see:
http://www.netbeans.org/www-nbusers/msg03757.html
If you can write '<' and '>' on the terminal, and not in the netbeans,
and have LC_ALL set to no_NO, please, reopen the bug. I had norgwegian
keyboard working on my computer. The '<' and '>' were mapped to some strange
key, but it is possible to remap it to any key. See documentation to "xkb".
Comment 3 Klaus Myrseth 2001-02-11 16:11:59 UTC 
Ive tuned xkb files and I am getting the editor to work in us_EN but not NO
keyboard layout... It is not the language but the layout/scancodes that squirks.
X windows gives me all those nice characters (just look at this mail :) (<>|§))
but netbeans will not.

I have tracked the bug to heavyweight components not giving all input events to
the lightweight components (only occurs in swing)..

Though you will have to look on the bug on java.sun.com in the VM, so it looks
like a JDK bug not NetBeans.

Its in the JDK...1.3.0_001 from sun and backwards.
Comment 4 Jan Lahoda 2001-02-13 11:37:59 UTC 
It is JDK bug:

Due a transfer from bugzilla to issuezilla, this resolution was lost.

Resolved for 3.3.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
