Open Curly Brace doesn't work in Mac OS X 10.9
eguerr:
Hi all,
I'm new to CodeBlocks and English is not my native language. I apologize if I am asking something already answered. I have searched with no result.
I'm running CodeBlocks v 13.12 for Mac OS X, and opened a .cpp file (i also tried with a new file). I can insert the closing curly brace , }, but the opening one, {, doesn't work.
My keyboard layout is Spanish, and I insert it with Alt+´.
I disabled Keyboard Shortcuts plugin as I have already read on the Internet, restarted CB, but no luck.
I have also seen that inserting @ (Alt+2) or # (Alt+3) works, so it's not a global problem with Alt+something. Same happens with [ and ]. I can insert the closing one (Alt++) but not the opening one (Alt+`).
I hope someone can help me, as it's impossible to code without opening braces. Thanks in advance
Enrique

Thank you, BlueHazzard, for your quick answer!
I have just tried it, with no luck. I get into Settings->Editor, but i can't find that "Keyboard Shortcuts" section. I get this screen. Where is the correct option? I'm sorry if it is so obvious.
Jenna:
"Keyboard shortcuts" belongs to the keybinder-plugin, so you can not see it, if it is disabled.
If it does not crash C::B, you can try it.

Our situation is even worse. Here at the University of Málaga, we have a room full of Macs (our best room, of course) and although I'd rather teach using Terminal+Editor than using distractive IDEs, for many students using a graphical IDE seems to be more cool. Anyway, the alternative, EclipseCpp is really bad, and we have been waiting for a version of CodeBlocks (the preferred for everybody else) that worked right with OSX. It's amazing that such a bug: not being able to read ⌥-´, that is behind the dead-key, '´', fails and does nothing! instead as the rest of even Eclipse IDE: {{{{{{{{ !!!!
Such a stupid bug is being there for every version I've tried for years. I don't understand the people behind CodeBlocks. Is it perhaps some way of punishment? I don't understand
