CodeBlocks wont let me type anything out properly

[SP91]

I am using Mac OS X and I have downloaded the Binary Release of code blocks codeblocks-10.05-p1-mac.dmg

I have installed the program by dragging this into the applications folder but when opening codeblocks and make a new C++ project under console application and I try to type something simple like

// comment

When I press "o" it opens a new folder window
If i press "a" it selects the whole project
If i press "b" it highlights the row by placing an arrow in the line numbers
If i press "f" it opens a find window
If i press "g" it opens a Go to window

and so on, does anyone no how to fix this?

sounds like a classic case of ctrl, alt or shift keys are stuck down. push each one in sequence to unstick them. But this is not a problem with codeblocks. it's a keyboard hardware issue. (the microprocessor in it simply misses a key-up event)

Im using a macbook pro so there isn't Ctrl Alt Del...I thought it could be something similar but none of the keys are stuck down, i also have a keybord cover so nothing has gone underneath making it stick, because if i press "o" or "f" in firefox no window comes up, it only happens in codeblocks

[ouch]

wow really? macs don't have a delete key? no wonder no one uses them... lol j/k

Sounds like a bug then, you will have to wait till one of devs respond.

function, control, alt and command key

It's not enough, because there are not manydevs thare are also mac users.

I would like to have one (at least for C::B development), but no one pays me to buy it  :cry: .

To (hopefully) fix your issue (or at least work around it):
try to disable the keybinder-plugin: Open "Plugins -> Manage plugins...", scroll to "Keyboard shortcuts" and click "Disable".

If I remember right there was exactly this error (behaviour like a stuck Cmd-key), that should be fixed in the pc1 version, but there seem to be still issues with it.

This is the worst OS for development ever made
And unfortunately I have to support it in my work project
