Notebook: cant type right bracket ']'

[steboc]

i cant type right bracket

Jupyter 5.01
Windows 7 ( French version ) and windows 10 ( french)
Chrome 57.0.2987.133

edit : work with firefox

[flothesof]

I have the same problem and incidentally the same setup: Windows 7 French, Notebook 5.0.0, Chrome 57.0.2987.133. Typing "]" inside a cell does not work.

[gnestor]

Hmmm.... It works for me on notebook 5.0.0, macOS, Chrome.

Can you remind me what's the key combinaison on French keyboard for ] ?
AltGR-0 ? Does it do nothing ? Or insert something else? Can you try on
codemirror.net demo?

Got the same issue with Jupyter (Anaconda 2) since last update 2 days ago
on Google Chrome Version 57.0.2987.133 (64-bit)

French keyboard (and yes, it s indeed AltGr + ")", two keys left from backspace)

Doing ] with Alt+93 from now, but quite annoying.

Ask me anything if you want further informations to fix this

[Carreau]

I've tried with my mac, setup with french keyboard and unfortunately I can't reproduce. So I'll have to find an actual windows machine and likely a Physical french keyboard layout (with altgr) and see what we can do.

How does it behave in codemirror directly ?

http://codemirror.net/

[KevinBaudin]

Nothing wrong on codemirror for me.
Still got the issue on Jupyter though.

[gatsu]

Got the exact same problem, french azerty layout, win10, chrome. Using firefox "solve" the problem.

[KevinBaudin]

Anything new?
Any clue to fix this ?

No, without a windows machine with the bug to actually track it down I can't narrow down the issue.
@SylvainCorlay you are in France maybe you have access to that ? I should be back in France this summer, I might have one machine available to do that. Unfortunately I stopped using French keyboard a couple of years ago and there is none available here.

[SmirnovAnton]

Confirming this issue with a German QWERTZ layout, Windows 7, Chrome version 58.0.3029.81 (64-bit), Jupyter version 4.3.0, Jupyter Notebook version 5.0.0.

Am trying to type a "\" in a Markdown cell of an R notebook using AltGr + ß (ß is located directly under F9), nothing happens. The @ and € symbols both work (AltGr+Q, AltGr+E). Same behaviour in a code cell or a Python 3 notebook.

Holding down AltGr brings up the crosshair you get by holding down Alt (used for vertical selection).

Have just upgraded to Notebook version 5.0.0 and pip version 9, did not see the problem before the upgrade.

Have just upgraded to Notebook version 5.0.0 and pip version 9, did not see the problem before the upgrade.

Hmm, that's interesting. Maybe our use of a newer Codemirror version broke something. Does anyone have time to git bisect the notebook repo to find the first commit affected?

[takluyver]

If you're bisecting JS issues, by the way, you'll need to rebuild the JS at each step - see Setting up a development environment - and try to avoid your browser loading cached Javascript.

[floriangeigl]

Same here - can't type a in Chrome & IE. However, it works fine in Firefox.

[gempel]

Same \ problem here on German keyboard, Win10 and Chrome. Works in Firefox.

I used git bisect and found https://github.com/jupyter/notebook/commit/1c8437a1231d86711d4cb2ad0070b24c8b556a26. The problem comes from the 'indentAuto' command in cell.js. In Chrome pressing the backslash-key-combo in a jupyter cell does indeed auto-indent . Removing the two 'indentAuto' lines and rebuilding the project fixes it.

The backslash-key-combo is incorrectly indentified as 'Ctrl-Alt-['. Should be 'Ctrl-Alt-\' or any of 'ß ? \'.

The Key-Event for the German backslash-key-combo in Chrome:

altKey: true
ctrlKey: true
key: '\'
keyCode: 219
which: 219

Firefox:

altKey: true
ctrlKey: true
key: '\'
keyCode: 63
which: 63

"[" on the Canadian french keyboard does not work

[fbilbao]

The same problem with an spanishLAT keyboard. https://www.goodtyping.com/teclatLAT.png Pressing AltGr+' turn the cursor in a cross instead of write a backslash.

[bobocharbo]

I got the same problem on french keyboard, windows 7 pro (french version), and jupyter version 4.3.0.
I only tried in chrome thought (Version 58.0.3029.110 (64-bit))

[Birion]

I can confirm this problem on Czech QWERTY keyboard with "[". Exactly the same result as @fbilbao. Windows 10, jupyter 4.3.0, Chrome 58.0.3029.110 (64-bit).

[ruboerner]

I can confirm the Backslash problem with a German keyboard. Windows 10, Anaconda3, Chrome 58.0.3029.110 (64-bit).

Workaround: Prior to pressing AltGr-ß, type "´" (acute)!

[gnestor]

I just submitted a PR that should fix this for both French and German keyboards. Since I have an English keyboard, I can't test myself, so I need someone here to help test.

git fetch jupyter pull/2535/head:pr/2535
git checkout pr/2535
npm run build

[gempel]

I tested the PR in a new environment and can confirm, that it works (German, problem).

[gnestor]

Can any Mac users confirm if Cmd-Alt-[ or any other combination of Cmd-Alt-* is causing this issue?

[luerhard]

i still have this issue with AltGr+ß on a german keyboard, windows 10, chrome 59.0.3071.115, jupyter server 5.0.0, python 3.6.1

[takluyver]

The change to fix it hasn't been released yet - we're aiming to make a 5.1 release this week which should have the fix in.

[luerhard]

Ah, then sorry to bother you and i am looking forward to the release :)

[tobschaffer]

Hi, should the 5.1 release already be available using "conda upgrade notebook"? I still get 5.0.0. I have the ALT+ key issue using a german keyboard. Thanks

[takluyver]

No, sorry, we're still trying to work out an issue some people have reported with the release candidates: #2747.

[matlabat]

Hi,
I got the same issue too ("]" doesn't work)
I also have a french keyboard, windows 10, jupyter 4.3.0 with chrome.

[gnestor]

@matlabat https://github.com/jupyter/notebook/pull/2535 should fix this. Try installing the 5.1 release candidate and let us know if it resolves the issue for you: pip install notebook --upgrade --no-deps --force-reinstall --pre

[vberlier]

Thanks, I can now type "]" using french keyboard/windows 10/chrome

[gnestor]

@vberlier Excellent! Thanks for letting us know.

[ChristianTremblay]

How should I process with conda ? Using Anaconda I guess the version 5.1 is not part of the repo yet...

[blink1073]

It is available on conda-forge: conda install -c conda-forge notebook.

[ChristianTremblay]

Found out that conda install -c conda-forge notebook will make it.
I confirm it solves the problem on my side too (french canadian keyboard)

[fbilbao]

I confirm that conda install -c conda-forge notebook solve de Latam keyboard problem too.

[matlabat]

@gnestor : Sorry for the late.
with
pip install notebook --upgrade --no-deps --force-reinstall --pre
I confirm that it works perfectly now
Thanks a lot!

[NairolfS]

does this also work for jupyter lab?

[blink1073]

@NairolfS, coming soon: https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/pull/3129

I am also facing issue that keyboard will stop working while using jupyter notebook.
Is there any solution to fix it...?
