Title: Cannot type "{" on Mac Codeblocks
Post by: XXX_X on January 15, 2009, 07:06:02 am

Well I was trying Codeblocks for Mac but i found that I can't type the symbol "{", and not "[" either. May it be a bug or something? The symbols "}" and "]" works correctly.

0. Check if you can type the key in a wxWidgets demo/sample application
1. You can try to disable the keybinder plugin
2. Close C::B, remove your C::B configuration folder and hope it is fixed, start C::B

p.s. 2. should be... Close C::B, rename the C::B configuration, start C::B. If the problem is fixed remove the fixed one and restore the buggy one. If it is broken again, post your config here, so someone can see what is wrong.

Seems to be similar to this one: http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,11489.msg78260.html#msg78260 (http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,11489.msg78260.html#msg78260) .
And there seems to be no solution (yet).

Which version of C::B do you use ?

wxWidgets has problems with certain keyboard layouts, such as Spanish and French...

e.g. http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/9663

Changing keyboard layout is one workaround, though amittedly a rather annoying one.

wxWidgets keyboard sample might be useful ?
