Hi Yannick,

I have a Mac:

for {} I use alt + 8/9

for ** I use shift + alt and 7

Hello,

I have the same problem. I am able to enter curly braces with my mac keyboard (German) by using alt + 8 and 9. But it is not possible in the Console. All fine for the part above the console. Please help as soon as possible because it is very annoying to copy paste all the time. Thanks a million in advance.

Sorry, this was a question not an answer. :(

Second thing is: It is possible to enter the code in the Workspace but it is not possible to copy the code and paste it into the console part. I need a solution as soon as possible. Thanks in advance.

I can confirm this bug with a German keyboard in Chrome too.

Hello,

I would like to know whether the issue was solved or not. It would be great to get a roughly time frame about how long it would take to solve that issue. Thanks a million in advance.
