Portuguese Keyboard events not working

[gespinha]

Hi there,

I've got a Portuguese Keyboard Layout and it seems this is not working right in Atom.

Certain important shortcuts don't work, I have verified what is happening with the keybindings and Atom is not recognising most of my typing combinations.

Has this issue been addressed?

Thanks

Do your issues seem similar to this one? atom/atom-keymap#35

[gespinha]

@kevinsawicki Yes, its the same issue. Has it been addressed yet? This is pretty serious, as it drastically affects workflows.

[kevinsawicki]

It has not been addressed yet.

@gespinha What OS are you on? And what keybindings aren't working correctly for you?

[gespinha]

I'm on OSX

[gespinha]

The indentation key bindings are the ones that are not working and every key binding that includes a "]" or a "["

[kevinsawicki]

Does your keyboard have an Alt Gr key?

[kevinsawicki]

Can you open the keybinding resolver using cmd-. and take a screenshot of what it displays when you type the indent keybindings in the editor? Thanks

[gespinha]

I am using the apple keyboard, I do not have a Alr Gr key, I have both Left and Right Alt only.

If I click cmd + alt + ], as the image shows Atom is detecting cmd + alt + 9

Okay, thanks for the details.

Is something fast to fix? Shouldn't the key events return the result of a key combination instead of the actual key that the user is pressing?

Is something fast to fix?

No, the keydown event fired in that case says that 9 is being pressed, not ] so either Chromium has to land support for the new key event APIs, https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=227231

Or there needs to be a translation table for each keyboard layout to remap these incorrect keys.
