Description fistons 2008-11-08 16:56:33 UTC
It's seems impossible to type any of the ~, |, {, [, @, }, etc.. character on the java editor.

These characters need the Alt Gr touch to be pressed
Comment 1 Jan Lahoda 2008-11-10 07:38:54 UTC
Is it possible to type the characters into plain Swing's JEditorPane? Thanks.
Comment 2 fistons 2008-11-11 17:07:23 UTC
I can use one of theses characters on any other java application (Swing, Awt or swt), I have this issue only in netbeans
6.5 (even in the "Option" window), I haven't test other version of netbeans. If this could help, i'm using IcedTea6
v1.3.1 as a jvm (bundle with Fedora 10 Preview)
Comment 3 Vitezslav Stejskal 2009-02-16 14:21:19 UTC
"I can use one of theses characters on any other java application (Swing, Awt or swt)" - strange, because Netbeans is
just a plain Swing application and so its behavior is the same as for example behavior of Java Notepad (eg. java -jar
${JAVA_HOME}/demo/jfc/Notepad/Notepad.jar).

What is a compose key on your Fedora? Sometimes AltGr is used as a compose key to write characters such as e-acute by
pressing apostrophe followed by the 'e' character. Also, have you tried the same with other JDKs?
Comment 4 fistons 2009-02-16 14:33:52 UTC
In fact, I solved the problem setting the XCOMPOSE variable to '' (XCOMPOSE='')

Then, I switch to gentoo, and everything was fine out of the box

Resolving all issues with milestone "future" as LATER. If you feel strongly that
it should be implemented please reopen and set the target milestone to "next".
