Description Pascal Myrta 2013-01-28 17:02:15 UTC 
In Bluefish, It is impossible to write braces {curly brackets} from the key-bord of my Mac. I must make a copy-paste or use the css builder to create braces, even in JS files.
Comment 1 Olivier Sessink 2013-01-28 19:38:57 UTC 
what is the keyboard layout you are using? Is it a US-qwerty keyboard or something else?

which combination should normally result in curly braces, and what is the result now? (is there any result if you press that combination?)
Comment 2 Olivier Sessink 2013-01-29 18:52:11 UTC 
Pascal,

please don't answer by eail, but answer in this bug tracking system, using the link in the email. Otherwise all other developers cannot see the answer to the question.

You emailed me:
------------------------------------------
Thank you very much for your answer.

I use AZERTY keyboard on Mac Snow Leopard 10.6.8.

Opening braces does not trigger with usual alt+( keys. But the closing one alt+) is OK. after many attempts, I finally founded the good combination wich open both opening and closing braces: cmd+alt+(. It works!

To open square brackets, it's a bit more difficult: cmd+alt+maj+(. Four magician's fingers at a time on the keyboard! But it works.

I don't know if this is a normal feature in Bluefish or is there a bug?

Bluefish is a very good text editor, thank you for creating it.
------------------------------------------
this is not a normal feature, this is a bug. 

what happens if you hit alt+(, does anything happen at all?

what are the normal key combinations for square brackets? and whap happens if you press them, anything at all?
Comment 3 Pascal Myrta 2013-01-29 21:40:59 UTC 
For braces, nothing happen if I do alt+(
The normal sequence for square brackets is alt+maj, but it does not work, nothing at all.
Comment 4 Pascal Myrta 2013-01-29 21:50:01 UTC 
Normal square brackets combination: alt+maj+(

Might be related to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=737547 . Please check if revision 8405 fixes this (or 2.2.7 release).

Hi, if this ticket is still valid in a recent version of Bluefish, then please report this under https://sourceforge.net/p/bluefish/tickets/ as GNOME Bugzilla is not used anymore by the Bluefish developers - thanks a lot!
