Description klosels 2004-02-02 16:27:39 UTC
On a german win2k box typing { opens the Threads
view - there seems to be some clash between the
key combination 'Alt Gr'+'7' (which on german
keyboards produces the "{") and 'Ctrl'+'Alt'+'7'
(which is the shortcut for the Threads view). 

The same holds true for the [ character - when
typed the search results are opened. In both cases
the character also appears in the editor.

'Alt Gr' is the right Alt key on german keyboards
- don't know what it's called elsewhere.

This happens with Q-Build 20040120 on Sun JDK 1.4.2.
Q-Build 20031211 works fine.

Yes unfortunately the JVM represents the national AltGr-<key>
shortcuts as Ctrl-Alt-<key> in key events. We should avoid binding any
actions to Ctrl-Alt-<key> shortcuts because any key chars produced by
these key events are treated as legitimate typed characters.
Reassigning to ui for further evaluation.
