How can I use Alt + code to insert Curly Brackets Monodevelop

Hi there, I’m used to use the Alt + code in order to input special characters, but I can0t use it in Monodevelop 2.8.2, what it does when I press alt + 1 or 2 or 3 is toggle scripts in the tab.

What I just want to do is input { using the Alt+123 and the close Bracket } using the Alt+125 because I use them several times in my coding to buit functions. Is there a way to do it in Monodevelop? .

Unity 3.5
Windows XP
Monodevelop 2.8.2.

Thnaks for any information about this subject.
Greetings.

Please tick rutter’s answer as ‘accepted’ to close this thread and help those in need of it in the future. And yes that’s me over at stackoverflow :slight_smile:

Not finding anything in options that seems obviously related, but I did find this Stack Overflow thread which hopefully can help you out.

Hi Rutter, thanks to your help I did find a keyboard combination

ALT Gr + Ç and ALT GR ´. Thank you so much.
Nevertheless this key combination is such weird to me by its position that I feel that I have two left feet when I’m coding. Don’t you know (or anybody knows) if by any chance Monodevelop has a Way to change shortcuts, I haven’t find a way, but maybe someone will know away to do it.

Rutter you was a life savior, thank you very much.

Hi Graham, oh sure no problem, but I just can’t find where is the “accepted button” within the question/answer page, would you tell me what do I have to do in order to accept the answer?

Greetings.

I just want to add that I found another way to input the {} without using the Alt Gr (I’m righty so it’s really weird to use the Alt Gr).

In PC use Ctrl-Alt + ´ and Ctrl-Alt + ç. (Ctrl-Alt at the same time then the extra key)
It works like a charm to me.
Greetings.

I’d love to be at least able to use the keycodes then.
