Whoa. That shouldn't do anything other than enter closing parentheses. If you have any other keyboards handy, you should try to see if the key combo does the same with them. This sounds like a hardware problem.
Do you have any hacks or system-wide 3rd party tools installed on your Mac? One of them might be the colprit if you do.
yeah shift zero. that's what i should have written.
no hacks or 3rd party stuff but i just discovered it only happens when using BBedit 6.5.1. must be a bug in their program <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" />
Must be, because I just hit shift-zero a whole bunch of times in BBEdit 6.5.3 on OS X 10.1.5, and nothing happened.
This might be related to BBEdit's warning you if you have an unbalanced bracket. Does it happen if you type a shift-9 and then a shift-0, or every time you type a shift-0? Does it happen if you type a } without a {, as well?
BBEdit 6.1.2 flashes the menubar when you close a pair of brackets/parenthesis/braces that has no corresponding opening one. The option is 'Balance while typing' (note that changing the default will not change currently opened windows)
I have just noticed that in Jaguar it flashes the whole desktop.. that's weird.. I don't think it did that before... but it doesn't appear to hurt it

weird yer right. it also does the same thing with shift ] and shift }. very odd. i don't recall this happening with 10.1.5 so it must be a Jag thing
Do you mean that the screen "flashes" or quickly fades to white and back? If so, that's in the Universal Access pref panel for visual feedback -- uncheck the box to "flash screen on alert" (it says something like that-- away from my Mac.)
Huh. Interesting. It's the sort of thing that could be a bug or a feature.</strong><hr></blockquote>
I think this is a feature. I thought it was a little "overkill", but now whenever I use ProjectBuilder instead of BBEdit I kinnda miss that feature. Its effective and yet silent!
Anyways, it might be a change in the MacOS X's API, that makes the whole screen flash instead of just the menubar. Im not sure though...

BTW BBEdit is now at version 6.5.3, but the bug is still there.
Is this Jag/10.2 only?

<strong>Previously only the menubar would flash.
