PI 1.5: Entering } with German keyboard is impossible

[georg.viehoever]

Hi,

when writing PSJR scripts, you often need to use the character "}". On german keyboards, this is accessed by pressing the keys "AltGr"+"0", with "AltGr" being the right Alt key (right besides the space bar). In PI 1.5, this toggles the PI GUI between normal- and full-screen mode (without any resize icons etc in the GUI, similar to "F11" in Internet Explorer and Firefox). Workaround: Copy and paste your "}" characters...

Hi Georg,

Ouch. What is strange is that the AltGr key is being identified as a Ctrl+Alt key combination in your keyboard. This shouldn't happen, of course. It doesn't happen in English and Spanish keyboards (the ones I have at hand here). However, it happens in laptop keyboards that don't have the AltGr key. Thanks for discovering this problem. And sorry for the inconvenience!

A possible solution could be just to remove the Ctrl+Alt+0 accelerator. After all, full screen mode can be selected from the main menu and View tool bar, and isn't a so-often used option.

A better solution is to catch all Ctrl+Alt accelerators from the Script Editor. Added to the TO-DO list for v1.5.1.
