I am using Netbeans 5.5.1 Linux version on a PC I prefer to keep NumLock Off. I have Option "XkbOptions" "numpad:microsoft" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, in which case I expect numeric keypad to behave exactly like the arrow pad. In particular Shift+Down and Shift+Up (same as Shift+2, Shiift+8) on numeric keypad should add/remove line highlighting, and applications like KWrite and even Eclipse work perfectly well, but Netbeans completely ignore these key combinations. I modified files in /etc/X11/xkb, so that they report XK_Down and XK_Up instead of usual XK_KP_Down and XK_KP_Up for numeric keypad and it fixed the problem ! Nevertheless it is an obvious work around, and I strongly believe that this bug should be fixed. The suggested fix is quite obvious: all XK_KP_... Shift+XK_KP_... Ctrl+XK_KP_... symbols should be processed in the same way as corresponding XK_..., Shift+XK_... and Ctrl+XK_... symbols. Thanks in advance M-
I looked in Tools-Options -> Keymap -> Other and the 'Extends Selection Up'... actions are only bound to shift-UP comparing to 'Insertion Point Up'... actions, which are bound to both UP, KP_UP. We'll fix that. In the meantime you can add the extra bindings yourself, just find the actions in Tools-Options -> Keymap -> Other, select the action you want to change and hit 'Add...' button. In the little dialog press the key combination you want to bind the action to and confirm the dialog with 'OK'. At the end confirm all the changes you've done by OKeying the Tools-Options dialog. Thanks
