Summary: Menu shortcut keys end up in document
Initial Comment:
It is best to explain this with an example. Make an
empty document. Then select the File->Save as menu
option with the keyboard, by typing the keys Alt+f and
a. (NOT Alt-a). Then the Save as action is carried out,
AND the letter a is added to the document.
The letter a should not be inserted--it selected the
menu item.
The same is true for other two-letter shortcuts.

Ah ok. Thanks. So it sounds like the long term plan is for the new
keyboard handling to replace the old.
I'll see if I can find some time over the next few weeks to take a look at
the new keyboard handling on windows.

The new keyboard handling works great under linux, and causes some
problems under macos and windows. Xuan Balduf debugged it for linux. Now
we need someone to do it for windows / macOS.
Yes it bothers me too, and I tried to debug it but i don't have a good
setup for doing so under windows, and I have no access to a MacOSX box. I
hoped that Xuan could fix the problems in the new keyboard handling before
we release 4.3final, but it seems he is not able to.

Isn't anyone bothered by the fact that moving to the new keyboard handling
means that many shortcut key combinations stop working?
What is the plan with new and old keyboard handling? Is the author of the
new keyboard handling still working on it, or have they moved on to other
things? If I was to look into trying to improve matters, should I be
looking at improving the new or old keyboard handling?
thanks,
mick

How did I miss the "new keyboard handling" option in Global Options ->
JEdit -> General? Ah, maybe because it isn't called "new keyboard
handling" in 4.3pre8. It is succinctly labeled as "true". Checking "true"
fixes the problem. Thanks!

you can use the simplified keyboard handling from the global options -
general - new keyboard handling.
or you can edit your .jedit/properties and set it there.

The problem occurs with JEdit4.3pre8. I tried JEdit4.2, and there is no
problem with that version.
I don't know how to set a property. I tried java -Dnewkeyhandling=true,
java -Doptions.general.newkeyhandling=true, a properties file cay.props
and cay.properties in ~/jedit/4.3pre8/props with entries
options.general.newkeyhandling=true
newkeyhandling=true, and none of them makes any difference.
Java 1.5 isn't a "recent release".

Presumably this issue and the following are all caused by the same thing:
1542026 "Keyboard navigation through menubar inserts char into buffer"
1531416 "4.3pre6 show-buffer-switcher: inserts keypress into buffer"
.. and there may be more. I took a bit of a look at 1531416 in a debugger
yesterday, and found that if you set the following jedit property then
the
problem disappears:
newkeyhandling=true
The problem is that if you do that then other things don't work. For
example,
shortcuts like 'ctrl 1' no longer trigger.
I suspect the problem may only arise with more recent releases of Java,
but
I'm not certain about that. That may be why some people are not seeing it.

It is not reproductible on Windows. What version of jEdit do you use ?

I should have added information about my configuration,
sorry. Ubuntu Linux 6.06 and 6.10, JDK 1.5 and 1.6 all show
this problem.
