Created attachment 131526 [details] IDE log
CTRL-ALT-L is the key combination to type Ł on Polish keyboard ? Sorry ;) I've never seen one. A virtual keyboard http://gate2home.com/Polish-Keyboard looks like Ł could be typed without (shift-alt-L on polish programmer's kbd)
Unfortunately in Poland is 2 type of keyboard: I - polish(214) [first row of letters qwertzuiop] II - polish (programmer) [first row of letters qwertyuiop]. Type II is more popular then polish (214). National polish char is typing right alt and letter. Right Alt is translate to ctrl+alt. On this link is how to make polish national letter: http://windows.home.pl/screens/keybpl.gif. Virtual Keyboard is on http://www.branah.com/polishprogrammers I'm sorry for little mistake with capital letter Ł (there should be lower letter ł).
OK, thanks for explanation. We have quite a lot of key bindings for Ctrl+alt, I believe. E.g. from keyboard shortcuts dialog, O, P, B, T letters are used in combination with ctrl-alt(-shift). Is shift-"ó" also affected (ctrl-alt-shift-o = Go to symbol) ? Is the equivalence AltGr => Ctrl+Alt a speciality of the Polish (programmer) kbd ? There does not seem to be an issue in recognizing AltGr (or Alt for that matter) on other layouts.
In polish programmer kbd is capital letter ó (Ó) - Shift + AltGr + o. I don't know is connection between AltGr and Ctrl+Alt is special for polish, I don't use other kbd layouts. On this link http://poradnia.pwn.pl/lista.php?id=7072 is statistic distribution of polish caracters.
OK; just to confirm - the effect on your machine is (pick all that apply): a/ you cannot invoke XmlMergeLine using keyboard shortcut b/ 'Ł' is typed in the editor text c/ nothing happens (no character is typed, no action invoked) If I enable Polish layout on Linux, a+c happens; left Alt must be used to make up ctrl+alt combination. by the way, I can't find the action "XMLMergeLine" ;) at least no 'merge' action seems to be defined in the base xml support. Maybe some extension module ?
Effect is that: I tried to type letter Ł but the IDE was trigger XML Merge Line.
I just installed the new version of netbeans 7.3 official (previously install v7.2 and 7.1.1) and problem looks like resolved.
really ? The original report said "7.3 RC2 (Build 201302050851)". I rather doubt that there was any change on the shortcut area from RC2 to final. is the environment otherwise unchanged (OS, JDK, ...) ?
Yes version 7.3 RC I uninstalled too. My machine have the same parameters like in log. Only I uninstalled all instance of netbeans and clean install netbeans 7.3. Maybe it was trash from previous version (after migrate). Now looks fine. Thanks for your help. Kind Regards Konrad Gorczyca
