hi,



I use MATLAB 7 for osx (thru X11) and everything works fine just like it used to when I used matlab in windows. But yesterday I was writing some code in a m-file and i needed to write "[" and "]" but I wasn't able to do it has I normally do in any other os x application (alt+8 and alt+9). I don't know how to solve this problem, I've tried other key combinations but nothing seems to do the trick. Anyone has ever run in to this problem ?



thanks

peace

    i guess you're not using a powerbook/ibook and you don't have numlock on ?



    it's the only non software reason that i could think of since i don't know matlab.

    well if numlock is on alt +8,9 doesn't work. but i guess you'd have noticed if it was.

    Why are you using alt+8 and alt+9 for [ and ]? MATLAB has no problem with the [ and ] keys on my PowerBook.

    my PB keyboard is in western spanish. In all other text-related programs I use, I have to use alt+8 or alt+9 for [ or ]. What key combinations do you use ?



    thanks
