[Tex/LaTex] TexStudio doesn’t recognize ” [ ” key

keyboardtexstudio

I started using TeXstudio and it seems it doesn't recognize the "[" key on my keyboard.

I have a Croatian keybard layout, so "[" sign is AltGr+F.

Strange thing is that it recognizes all the other keys alright, so I can use "]" (AltGr+H), "č", "đ"…

Anyone has any experiences with this behaviour ?

Best Answer

Some of TXS standard shortcuts contain Ctrl+Alt (e.g. Ctrl+Alt+S - Save As...). Accidentially windows treats AltGr like Ctrl+Alt. Therefore, you wouldn't be able to type AltGr+S, which is a certain character e.g. on a Polish keyboard, but instead you would trigger "Save As...". Since there are only a few such cases and it's limited to windows, we do not want to disregard Ctrl+Alt shortcuts completely.

Instead, we've included a list of exceptions. Known problematic shortcuts will be changed or deactivated on startup based on the current keyboard language. If you experience problems with certain characters, please report them so that we can add them to the exclude list. As a workaround, you can also change the corresponding shortcut in the options.

From TeXstudio FAQ: I cannot type certain characters on my keyboard that involve AltGr on windows.

[Tex/LaTex] Why doesn’t TeXstudio suggest any bib items for citation (can’t read multiline arguments)

In order to close this topic - I summarize:

For now, you will have to do

\usepackage[backend=biber,bibwarn=true,bibencoding=utf8,sortlocale=de_DE,style=alphabetic]{biblatex}

in one line or you tick the corresponding .cwl-file as can be seen below:

The discussion about this issue has been closed: https://sourceforge.net/p/texstudio/bugs/1648/

You may want to create a file biblatexTemp.cwl with:
