CTRL + ALT not providing }

I am using CTRL + ALT to write } , however in 2024b this does not work anymore.

I am forced to use ALT GR.

I found no way to change that in the options. In other programs it works perfectly fine.

Is there a way for me to return this function as it was?

Hi @Alexander Szambor,

I haven't been able to use CTRL+ALT to type '}' in R2023b or R2024a. Could you explain how this was possible in versions prior to R2024b?

Please mention the version you were able to use this functionality.

CTRL+ALT+the "0" Key above "O" and "P" gives a "}" on European(?) Keyboards.

This works in the command window.

I found the issue, the same combination in the editor is a Keyboard shortcut to reset the zoom to 100%.

This shortcut is not listed under the Keyboard shortcuts in the Preferences, so i can not remove it...

Hi @Alexander Szambor,

Despite disabling the reset zoom keyboard shortcut, Ctrl + Alt + 0 still resets the zoom to 100% on R2024b. However, in R2024a, executing the following code disables this shortcut:

s = settings;
s.matlab.editor.displaysettings.DisableResetZoomKeyboardShortcut.TemporaryValue = 1;

For more information, refer the following documentation:

The .TemporatyValue gets reset on restart.

For me the PersonalValue worked upon restarting the Program.

s = settings;

s.matlab.editor.displaysettings.DisableResetZoomKeyboardShortcut.PersonalValue=1;
