windows IDE and German Keyboard
Posted: Wed Mar 14, 2012 4:39 pm
There is a nice feature in the IDE that is currently driving me mad with a german keyboard.
The feature is the jump to next code block (ctrl+'+' or ctrl+'-').
That is working fine - but you cannot reconfigurate it - it's always set to the english keyboard plus and minus key. But that's not all. The problem really goes with what the keys that are plus and minus do on a german keyboard. On the minus key there is the ß (special german letter) and, when use press ALT GR it is the Backslash ( \ ) that is used inside PB for Struture Elements. Now the Problem - ALT GR is actualy CTRL+ALT. And windows suck in interpretating this key giving a CTRL and an ALT press event. Here comes the problem with the PB IDE. When you want to write a backslash in your code and you use your keyboard fast you offen end up by jumping to the last codeblock instead of writing a backslash. That is really annoying.
So to get to the point - could you please add the last code block / next code block feature to the shortcut list so that german users can change it?

BTW: @all german keyboard users who don't have the problem - you need to get faster
