#1494 Ctrl-Alt-T results in symbol þ added to code editor

I often use Ctrl-Alt-T to reconnect to a DB. Works like a charm except for one small thing: apparently the shortcut triggers also triggers this symbol: þ (see attached screenshot). It's added to the code editor, which of course invalidates the statement.

Sorry, I can't reproduce your problem neither on Windows nor Linux or Mac.
Can you post what OS and Java version you are using?

Sorry, on my Windows 10 Pro (64-Bit) system running SQuirreL with Java 17.0.1+12 (Temurin) the problem is not reproducible.

You may try the following:

Reinstall SQuirreL into an empty directory

Download Java 17 from here: https://adoptium.net/

Note: SQuirreL 4.3.0 as well as for current snapshots won't run with Java 8. The minimum required version is Java 11.

  It's okay, just a minor nuisance. Thanks for looking into it though.
  
  My compliments on this gem of an SQL client. I used to have Oracle SQL Developer run my slightly underpowered Lenovo Yoga L380 straight to the ground, whereas Squirrel doesn't have an impact on performance whatsoever. On top of that it's even more user friendly!

According to https://discussion.evernote.com/forums/topic/138075-weird-characters-are-added-to-printed-in-my-note-when-entering-a-shortcut/ there is a problem when the default language is Dutch. Switching to English (US) apparently helps?

To solve this problem one may try out changing the ctrl+alt+t shortcut. See menu File --> Global Preferences --> tab Keyboard shortcuts.
