Keyboard Issue- Can't insert # Linux (swiss keyboard)

[sdallo]

Hi

I really like codelite as ide and on my windows box everything works fine, but on my Linux Box the chars on the numbers keys (not number block)
which requires to press "alt gr" and for example the number 3 (#) won't appear in the editor. That is really annoying for c++ programming The same for the following characters "| @ ¬ | ¢ ' ~", this chars are all the third possible char for the corresponding number key.
Please can anyone help me to solve that problem?

I use
Linux Mint 64 bit
Swiss German Keyboard Layout
Codelite 7.0

EDIT: Somehow it is related to this bug https://github.com/eranif/codelite/comm ... 7d8853932a as stated in that thread, I disabled the external tools shortcut's. I think this problem will affect a lot of peoples which uses european keyboard layouts.

Cheers,
Sandro

For clarifications and for other people who may came across this thread: to workaround this bug you can

• Disable the external tools plugin from: Plugins->Manage plugins and uncheck the external tools plugin
• OR: remap the external tools plugin keyboard shortcuts to something other than Ctrl-Alt from the main menu: Settings->Keyboard shortcuts->Plugins->External tools
