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.
It seems like it's duplicate of issue 11477, there is described what happends. Tomas, should your patch works with NB 3.4 ?
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.
I have installed Netbeans 3.5 and these problems are now solved (using standard mac typing, ie. <alt>+'(' => { and <alt>+<shift>+')' -> [ :) Thanks !
