title: Netbeans keyboard shortcuts that do not work with a non-English keyboard layout
body: <p>I believe this problem has been present for a few years in Netbeans, in different non-English keyboard layouts (see for example <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7618638/shortcuts-in-netbeans-dont-work">Shortcuts in NetBeans don&#39;t work</a>).</p>
  
  <p><strong>Premises:</strong></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>I am using Netbeans 7.3.1, and coding in Java</p></li>
  <li><p>I use a non-US keyboard layout (Swedish), and Netbeans picks up all the Swedish keys correctly when typing them in the code window.</p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p><strong>The problem:</strong></p>
  
  <p>The keyboard shortcuts that use keys that are mapped the same in Swedish and English layout (normal letters for example) work fine, but the keyboard shortcuts that use keys that are mapped differently behave inconsistently.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Example:</strong></p>
  
  <p>Toggle comment (Ctrl+Slash). Slash is Shift+7 in Swedish layout, Ctrl+Shift+7 brings up project properties. Slash in US layout is the key left of right shift, labeled - in Swedish layout. If I press that, Netbeans recognizes this as - and performs the standard behavior for Ctrl+- (a code fold).</p>
  
  <p>Complete line (Ctrl+Shift+;). The key labeled ; in Swedish layout has &lt; in US. This combo brings upp the bookmarks tab. The key labeled ; in US layout has a Swedish letter, this combo does nothing.</p>
  
  <p>I have seen questions by people in different languages asking about one specific shortcut or another not working, and the answer is usually to edit the Netbeans keymap, I wanted to connect a few more dots. Does anybody have further experience or suggestions?</p>
