[desktop-discuss] Re: Keyboard-Map in Java-Apps

[Bruno Gillet]

Hi,
I use french keyboards.
I had exactly the same problem under netbeans. I checked and found there was misinterpretation of the keymapping from the JVM. I solved the issue by trying different keyboard models in my xorg.conf up to find one both usable in X and Java.
I found a specific kbModel that worked somewhat appropriately with Java. I have all of {,},[,],etc... but loose my numeric keypad. It's not perfect but usable.
AFAIK, this is a Java bug with non-us keymappings, OpenSolaris and xorg are not guilty.

Options in my keyboard input devices are those one :

Option      "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option      "XkbModel" "hp5185"
Option      "XkbLayout" "fr"

I suggest you try using different keyboard models.

HTH,

Bruno.
