[ and ] not working

Post by spectrum »

Dear all,

in cl 7.0 just installed, keys [ and ] are not working inside the editor only.
In my keyboard (italian) they are obtained with ALT GR + [ or ] key.

What can i do ?

Which OS? Is it a clean install or using an upgrade from 6.1?

It sounds like this bug: https://github.com/eranif/codelite/issues/612

Well, my version is 7.0 just installed from sources.
Yes, it is that bug, and i don't see any solution / workaround on that thread.

I uninstalled all prevoius files (had an older Debian verison before, so i purged all), removed also .codelite, then re-installed from source in a clean enviroment, same issue.

Found then a workaround that worked for me: disabling "ExtrernalTools Plugin" solved my issue, [ and ] worked.

Ciao
Angelo

Hi, Ubuntu 14.10, CL7 installed yesterday from ubuntu apt repos.
Same keyboard language and issue here.
Kudos to Angelo for finding a workaround, it solved the problem.
Cheers,
Piero

Similar problem for me after automated upgrade to CL 7.0 on Xubuntu 14.04 LTS, German Keyboard, {[]} accessed by AltGr + 7,8,9,0

Deactivating the "ExternalTools Plugins" as Angelo suggested works only for "{[]". AltGr + 0 still evokes a CScope window. Needed to disable the CScope plugin, too.
