Hi
I’m new to PlayCanvas so I apologise if this has been brought up before. Searching the forum didn’t give me any relevant answers.
For some reason, I’m unable to write curly braces: { and } in the code editor. I’m on a Mac so I should be able to do this using shift+alt+8 and shift+alt+9. It even works fine here in the forum, but in the code editor, nothing happens. I can write normal parenthesis and brackets, but not curly braces.
Has anyone else experienced this issue and is there a workaround?
What keyboard layout/locale do you have? There have been issues with some keyboard layouts and the code editor before due to hotkeys/shortcuts.
I’m on a Danish keyboard so I guess that might be an issue. However, I’ve never seen this issue before in any other code or text editor. That’s unfortunate.
Thanks for the reply 
Looking at the PlayCanvas editor, it looks like Shift + Alt + 8 is used for ‘go to tab 8’
Only thing I can suggest is to use some sort of text expander/replacement tool/extension to replace [` to { or https://pqrs.org/osx/karabiner/ to remap another key binding.
Or change the locale?
Just as Excess I’m on a Danish keyboard where {} by default is mapped to ALT+SHIFT+8/9 and it would be pretty damn nice if it was possible in PlayCanvas to modify the default keys.
Re-mapping using some 3. party tool is of course an option but since our default setup works everywhere else than PC that’s also a tiny bit annoying to do it that way. So hereby a feature request for optional remapping of keys in the PC codeeditor… Pretty please🙏
Alt-123 and Alt-125 on the numpad. Its kinda clunky, but frankly not that much clunkier than Alt+Shift+8/9. 1-2-3 and 1-2-5 are pretty easy to remember.
Of course, if you are on a laptop without a numpad this won’t be as useful.
