Question or issue on macOS:
Is there anyway to have jEdits keyboard controls behave the same way that a native Mac OS app does?
By behave I mean command+left moves the caret to the start of the line, alt+left moves to the beginning of the current word etc.
How to solve this problem?
Solution no. 1:
Jedit For Mac
First the ALT key needs to be enabled. Do this in the startup.bsh file located in:
On Mac OX this would typically be:

The following lines should be uncommented:
You can now include the ALT key in keymappings, where Registration code for winzip 21.
Solution no. 2:
Unfortunately Brian’s findings do not play well with QWERTZ keyboards: it disables the possibility to enter chars like pipe, curly brackets, or whatever uses the ALT-key as modifier.
Free word to pdf converter. According to the comments in startup.bsh:
only uncommenting Debug.ALT_KEY_PRESSED_DISABLED should do the trick, but here[1] it doesn’t – I can either use ALT as modifier for shortcuts, or as a modifier for entering chars. a prior section also deals with the mapping of modifiers:
but whatever combination of settings I tried, I wasn’t able to achieve a setup with both options (ALT as modifier for shortcuts and textinput) working.
So: any hint/fix would be highly appreciated. 😉
[1] here means: jEdit 4.3.2 @ OSX 10.5.8 (Java 1.5.0_30) with QWERTZ (German) keyboard
Solution no. 3:
A solution that works for me:
Jedit For Mac
Create some macros that insert the special alt-characters you need into the textArea (one macro per character).
Then you can change the setup to enable the alt-key for jedit (I enabled only the first of the two properties).
Jedit Macros
After that you can assign alt-shortcuts for the macros you recorded in a way that the special characters will be insterted by the same shortcus as before.
Jedit Macro Loop
After that you can change the shortcut-setup for text-navigation to match the mac-standard and you will still have the special characters available through the defined macro-shortcuts.
Jedit For Macbook
Hope this helps!
