Title: CodeBlocks wont let me type anything out properly
Post by: SP91 on April 23, 2011, 06:33:28 pm
I am using Mac OS X and I have downloaded the Binary Release of code blocks codeblocks-10.05-p1-mac.dmg

I have installed the program by dragging this into the applications folder but when opening codeblocks and make a new C++ project under console application and I try to type something simple like

// comment

When I press "o" it opens a new folder window
If i press "a" it selects the whole project
If i press "b" it highlights the row by placing an arrow in the line numbers
If i press "f" it opens a find window
If i press "g" it opens a Go to window

and so on, does anyone no how to fix this?

sounds like a classic case of ctrl, alt or shift keys are stuck down. push each one in sequence to unstick them. But this is not a problem with codeblocks. it's a keyboard hardware issue. (the microprocessor in it simply misses a key-up event)

Im using a macbook pro so there isn't Ctrl Alt Del...I thought it could be something similar but none of the keys are stuck down, i also have a keybord cover so nothing has gone underneath making it stick, because if i press "o" or "f" in firefox no window comes up, it only happens in codeblocks

wow really? macs don't have a delete key? no wonder no one uses them... lol j/k

Sounds like a bug then, you will have to wait till one of devs respond.

It's not enough, because there are not manydevs thare are also mac users.

I would like to have one (at least for C::B development), but no one pays me to buy it  :cry: .

To (hopefully) fix your issue (or at least work around it):
try to disable the keybinder-plugin: Open "Plugins -> Manage plugins...", scroll to "Keyboard shortcuts" and click "Disable".

If I remember right there was exactly this error (behaviour like a stuck Cmd-key), that should be fixed in the pc1 version, but there seem to be still issues with it.

This is the worst OS for development ever made :(
And unfortunately I have to support it in my work project :(
