finally found out why setModifierMapping wasn’t enough to get alt working! you also need to set these two lines:
Debug.ALT_KEY_PRESSED_DISABLED = false;
Debug.ALTERNATIVE_DISPATCHER = false;

I found this info here: http://muzso.hu/node/4304

yay AS editing here i come.

yeah i found the setModifierMapping macro too, however no matter what order you put the masks in, alt never works.
KeyEventTranslator.setModifierMapping(
InputEvent.CTRL_MASK,
InputEvent.ALT_MASK,
InputEvent.META_MASK,
InputEvent.SHIFT_MASK);

Thanks for the kind words, Sebastian. As a Windows refugee, I tend to overlook the Option keys myself — I naturally gravitated to CMD-right and CMD-left to move from one word to the next, and only now realized that the OPTION key is indeed “dead” to jEdit.

Apparently, you can change the behavior of modifier keys using the “setModifierMapping” method within a macro (found this info here, but sadly, I’m not sure what to do with it from there). I’ll look around, though, as I assume this will probably aggravate more people, too.

Thanks for the head’s up!

Hi!

Your jedit tweaks are fantastic! Thanks heaps!

However the one thing stopping me from moving over to jedit for actionscripting, is the fact that you cannot set “go to next word” and “go to prev word” as the os x default shortcuts: option-right and option-left. From what I can tell, jedit doesn’t recognise the option/alt key in osx.

I tried recording go to next word as a macro and it looks like textArea.goToNextWord(false,false);
and I tried setting that as a shortcut in system preferences > mouse/keyboard > shortcuts. But because jedit doesn’t recognise alt/option it wont work at any level.

I see this bug has been reported in sourceforge, but not much action…

Any other ideas how to fix this?
Then jedit would be perfect!

Thx,
Sebastian.
