Re: [platform-swt-dev] Follow up { on a german keyboard [swt-carbon]

Given how close we are to shipping R2.0, this is something which would have to be worked around in the Mac specific code, and fixed more generally after R2.0 ships. Please enter a PR describing the problem and what you have found.

hi,

i think the problem is the bugfix 12952. Which prevents entering chars 
with alt.

The code in org.eclipse.swt.custom.StyledText handleKey()


            if (event.character > 31 &&
                                                   event.character != SWT.DEL && event.stateMask != SWT.ALT ||
                                      event.character == SWT.CR || event.character == SWT.LF ||
                                      event.character == TAB) {
                                                   doContent(event.character);
                                  }

filters nearly all chars entered with the alt modifier including {} on a 
german keyboard.

Removing && event.stateMask != SWT.ALT solves my problem but it is a bug 
for other people.

Can somebody advice me what i should do in this case. It s my first work 
for the swt.

Best regards

ulrich
