> macOS: Option (⌥ / alt) key not recognised after typing brackets {, [, ], or }
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NETBEANS-1850
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-1850
> Project: NetBeans
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 9.0, 10.0
> Environment: macOS Mojave on a Macbook Air Early 2015, Netbeans Binary
> Reporter: Lukas
> Priority: Major
>
> *The issue*
> This issue concerns macOS only.
> The option key (also known as ⌥ or the alt-key) is no longer recognised by Netbeans after opening or closing a curly or squared bracket, i.e. after typing *{* or *[*.
> Netbeans automatically closes brackets by default. However, even with this feature disabled, the option-key still stops working after pressing one of these keys.
> The option-key is still available to open an additional bracket. However, any additional functionality is lost.
> After re-opening Netbeans, the program does recognise the option key again. This, however, only stays until a new bracket is opened.
> *Steps to reproduce the issue*
> Make sure you are using Netbeans later than 8.2 on macOS.
> # Open any project. Note the option-key is working, e.g. by navigating your code by pressing the option key and the left and right arrows at the same time.
> ** This can be confirmed by opening the keymap settings (Preferences, Keymap) and clicking on "in shortcuts".
> ** After pressing the option key in this field, the symbol of the key is displayed as such.
> ** This shows the option key is perfectly recognised by Netbeans.
> # Type a *{* or *[* at any position in your project.
> # Try using the option (alt)-key again in Netbeans. You will notice the key seems broken.
> ** This can be confirmed by opening the keymap settings (Preferences, Keymap) and clicking on "in shortcuts".
> ** When pressing the option key in this field, the field stays blank.
> ** This shows the option key is no longer recognised by Netbeans.
> # Re-open netbeans. Then, press to use alt-key and note that it works again.
> *About the issue*
> The issue started appearing in Netbeans 9 and is still present in Netbeans 10. It is not present in Netbeans 8.2.
