Lukas updated NETBEANS-1850: ---------------------------- Description: *The issue* This issue concerns macOS only. The option key (also known as ⌥ or the alt-key) is no longer recognised by Netbeans after opening or closing a curly or squared bracket, i.e. after typing one of the following: *{* *[ ] }*. Netbeans automatically closes brackets by default. However, even with this feature disabled, the option-key still stops working after inserting one of the brackets mentioned above. The option-key is still available to open an additional bracket. However, any additional functionality is lost. After re-opening Netbeans, the program does recognise the option key again. This, however, only stays until a new bracket is opened. *Steps to reproduce the issue* Make sure you are using Netbeans later than 8.2 on macOS. # Open any project. Note the option-key is working, e.g. by navigating your code by pressing the option key and the left and right arrows at the same time. ** This can be confirmed by opening the keymap settings (Preferences, Keymap) and clicking on "in shortcuts". ** After pressing the option key in this field, the symbol of the key is displayed as such. ** This shows the option key is perfectly recognised by Netbeans. # Type a *{* or *[* at any position in your project. # Try using the option (alt)-key again in Netbeans. You will notice the key seems broken. ** This can be confirmed by opening the keymap settings (Preferences, Keymap) and clicking on "in shortcuts". ** When pressing the option key in this field, the field stays blank. ** This shows the option key is no longer recognised by Netbeans. # Re-open netbeans. Then, try to use the alt-key and note that it works again. *About the issue* The issue started appearing in Netbeans 9 and is still present in Netbeans 10. It is not present in Netbeans 8.2. was: *The issue* This issue concerns macOS only.
