$ = AltGr + É

Hello Basex-Talkers,

when I try to enter a variable I need the $ char. I use hungarian keyboard, and $ is AltGr + É keyboard combination. The only annoying thing is when I press AltGr + É, $ appears, but just before that cursor jumps to the first row first char position. So $ is smiling as the first char in the first row. No other keboard combination does that, only AltGr + É. So every time I need a variable I use clipboard instead of pressing $ char.

Can onyone make my life a little easier to correct it if it is possible at all? Or help me how to try to remove that cursor jump?

Thanks in advance, Daniel

I think I found somehing but need help to correct it.

CTRL Home is the jump to top shortkey. I went to http://www.w3.org/2002/09/tests/keys.html to check

CTRL Home = keycode 36, but no charcode AltGR É = keycode 0, charcode 36 (and CTRL and ALT is pressed because of AltGR. so AltGr is nothong more than CTRL + ALT).

basex / basex-core / src / main / java / org / basex / gui / layout / BaseXKeys.java line 31: /** Beginning of text. */ TEXTSTART(META, MAC ? VK_UP : VK_HOME),

Can oneone please tell me how to correct it if I'm on the right way? maybe check the ALT or any other way?

Daniel

Hallo Daniel,

Yes, basically you are on the correct path. However, LINESTART was affected in this case instead of TEXTSTART.

I just sent a minor pull request (https://github.com/BaseXdb/basex/pull/1003), which should fix the issue.

Cheers, Dirk
