Move to code block end/start on German keyboard
Answered
Hi,
on Ubutunu with Intellij IDEA Comunity 2019.2 I'm not able to find the correct shortcut.

It seems to be to go in the same direction as described in this entry https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/115000628010-Un-comment-blocks-of-code-on-german-keyboard
Is there an alterantive shortcut which I can use?
Thanks,
Markus

Hello, could you please clarify the problem, is there a shortcut conflict for "Move to code block end" action on a german layout?
Hi Petr,
the problem is that nothing happens. I was not able to find another shortcut.#
With "comment/uncomment" it's possible with "Move to code block end/start" I don't see a change at the moment.
Cheers,
Markus
Does it help if you reassign the shortcut?
Thanks Petr, this would work and behaves as I would expect it.
Even I can rely on the keymap list.
Unfortunately, not with my Windows notebook. I can assign "Ctrl Alt Graph+8/9", and when I search for the key-combination in "Settings->Keymap" the actions are found. However, when I actually use them, I get the same result as omitting "Ctrl" (i.e. pressing "Alt Graph+8/9"): brackets are inserted. It helped to assign them to "Ctrl+Alt+Shift+8/9", which works but is not very convenient.
Is it a windows thing that "Alt Graph+8/9" and "Ctrl+Alt Graph"+8/9" are handled alike, or is there a chance the key combinations could be handled differently?
Is it possible to share idea.log ("Help | Show Log in...") after restarting IDE?
Will do, may take some time. Sorry, can*t restart right now.
Thanks!
Dear Yaroslav,
please find enclosed the log of today. I changed the key binding for "move caret to code block start/end" back to "Ctrl+Alt Graph 8/9" and pressed these keys in the editor. As expected, no moving of the caret happened but the characters: "[" and; "]" were inserted.
Unfortunately I don't see an option to attach the log here, so please find it at: https://meadhbh.brokenerror.de/html/2022-06-22_idea.log.zip
Cheers Mark.
Mark,
Now Alt Gr is detected for typing characters only. There is related request to restore it (https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/JBR-4207/Enable-AltGr-key-modifier-back-on-Windows), but it needs some additional actions.
