title: Curly brackets in gedit on Mac OS X
body: <p>i have gedit 2.30.2 installed  (Latest build) and Mac OSX 10.6.5 .
  I cannot get it to write a curly bracket with  +  + "8" .
  On Ubuntu, no problem, on XCode no problem, but gedit won't let me write a curly bracket...
  I searched on google a lot and found everytime the same answer: use  +  + "8" ....
  PLEASE HELP</p>
