Summary: Accents missing on Mac OS X, Linux X , jdk 1.4.1

Initial Comment:
On Mac OS X with danish keyboard and jdk 1.4.1 and jedit 4.1 some accents cannot be entered from the keyboard it seems.

Missing accents are ^,¨,~,`,´ both as accents (â, etc) and characters on their own

More details on request.

Now accents work on linux.

On MacOS X (Danish keyboard, same used for linux test) I still 

cannot enter accents and accented characters as well as []{}@.

Attached is the output of the keyboard tester for characters 

[{ä¨.

version: jedit42pre3 with seperate jedit.jar (pre4)

Attached are 2 files with output of the keyboard tester for some 

accents.

kbpre3.txt without the startup translateKeys

kbpre3-startup.txt with the startup translateKeys

The output with the translateKeys is not correct. ^ will appear, 

but not in accents like ô (dont know if it should), similar for ¨, 

displays as " (quote I believe), but not accents like ä.

Hi,

I notice you never provided pre3 keyboard tester output for

the keys in question. Can you do this, both before and after

the translations I provided below were added to a startup

script?

Worked with the second fetch of the file.

Attached is the output of various keypresses.

Just noticed that with this jar file "opt-i" does not insert a '|' any 

longer (no does it go up one line).

Try getting jedit.jar again, make sure you don't get an old

copy from the cache, etc. Debug.DUMP_KEY_EVENTS=true is correct

I get an error while evaluating "Debug.DUMP_KEY_EVENTS=true" :

(something about reflection )

no such field: DUMP_KEY_EVENTS

have installed the jedit.jar file.

What should I do?

The issue with opt-i is fixed in 4.2pre3.

Now if the keys work in swing components but not the text

area, I guess there are problems with event delivery.

Can you install pre2, replace jedit.jar with

www.jedit.org/jedit.jar, then do this:

1) utilities->beanshell->evaluate expression:

Debug.DUMP_KEY_EVENTS=true

2) press problematic keys in text area

3) post here the debug messages starting with "[debug] Key

event:" which will end up in the activity log after #2.

Another quirk on Mac OS X.

Entering '|' (opt-i on a Danish keyboard) produces a strange 

result: move up one line and then insert the '|' character.

Yes, accents do work in search and file open dialogs. Behaves like 

for NotePad from the jdk jfc demos.

Do accents work in text components other than the jEdit text

area? For example, try in the search dialog box, or the

file>open dialog box.

Adding the key translations seemed not to have any effect. What 

happens I cannot tell because the keyboard produces no output 

in the interesting cases.

Looking closer at the pre2 keyboardtester output it seems that 

returned keyChar  is actually correct but not being inserted in 

the text.

This is from the pre2 jar file (I accidentially deleted the pre3).

If I can help, let me know,

Note in the below code for some reason there is a line break

between VK_CLOSE_BRACKE and T! You'll need to change this or

it won't parse. All other line breaks are ok

Hi, I have uploaded a new snapshot to www.jedit.org/jedit.jar.

Can you try run the new snapshot with this BeanShell code in

a startup script and tell me if the accent keys work:

KeyEventTranslator.translateKey(

new KeyEventTranslator.Key(null,KeyEvent.VK_CLOSE_BRACKET,'\0'),

new KeyEventTranslator.Key(null,0,'"')

);

KeyEventTranslator.translateKey(

new KeyEventTranslator.Key("S",KeyEvent.VK_CLOSE_BRACKET,'\0'),

new KeyEventTranslator.Key(null,0,(char)0x5e)

);

KeyEventTranslator.translateKey(

new KeyEventTranslator.Key("C",KeyEvent.VK_CLOSE_BRACKET,'\0'),

new KeyEventTranslator.Key(null,0,'~')

);

KeyEventTranslator.translateKey(

new KeyEventTranslator.Key(null,KeyEvent.VK_EQUALS,'\0'),

new KeyEventTranslator.Key(null,0,'\'')

);

KeyEventTranslator.translateKey(

new KeyEventTranslator.Key("S",KeyEvent.VK_EQUALS,'\0'),

new KeyEventTranslator.Key(null,0,'`')

);

Attached a file with (some) accented characters.

About jedit on linux:

jedit kan generate accented characters but not the accents on 

their own in the mentioned configuration.

jedit running under X 4.2.0 on SuSE Linux 8.1 on intel seems to 

have similar problems with accents.

Results from the keyboard tester with pre3. 

The () means the character intended before the ':' and actual key 

presses after.

Accented characters cannot be entered.

This is with a Danish keyboard layout.

Using apple's X11 server against a Linux server, jedit is able 

generate accented characters, but not the accents on their own.

Even better:

Can you install jEdit 4.2pre2, and replace the jedit.jar

with the one from here:

http://www.jedit.org/jedit.jar

This is a 4.2pre3 snapshot.

Then, run jEdit and invoke

utilities>troubleshooting>keyboard tester, and press the

keys that are causing problems.

Its hard to understand the keyboard tester output.

Can you provide seperate lines of output for each key that

doesn't work?

Including the accents and the letters with accents.

I don't know if it is helpful. Attached is the output of the 

keyboard tester for the keys: ´`¨^~

The interpreted names in the dialog (equals, closebracket) seems 

not to relate to the keys.

A bit more precise information.

I can enter ^, but only with the key sequence opt-shift-^, not shift-^ that would allow accents.

Other strange keys:
opt-q enters a '°' AND moves one line up where as shift-opt-q enters a '?' and stays on the line.
