Hi,

I am wondering if the upper part of��

TextEditor>>shiftEnclose: aKeyboardEvent

"Insert or remove bracket characters around the current selection."

| char left right startIndex stopIndex oldSelection which text |

char := aKeyboardEvent keyCharacter.

char = $9 ifTrue: [ char := $( ].

char = $, ifTrue: [ char := $< ].

char = $[ ifTrue: [ char := ${ ].

char = $' ifTrue: [ char := $" ].

is a bug or a feature. For german keyboards it causes that pressing the single Apostroph (which is reached via shift-#) is substituted to ". So enclosing a textblock and pressing ' leads to comments around the block, which is really annoying.

I am curious, because this substitution does not make any sense to me. The keyCharacter is always the "real" character ( $( instead of $9 ). Also it seems that this substitution reduces the keyboard to the en-Layout, therefore breaks the separation of concerns.

Is there any reason, why this substitution takes place?

Regards
