Actually those are braces.
Anyways, what exactly are you trying to do?Code:() = parentheses, [] = brackets, {} = braces
How do you want to select the text? You mean in the editor or programatically...?
I don't know of any.
Ctrl-} allows you to move the cursor between them, but I don't know any way to select that text.
It's probably shift-Ctrl-} then.Originally Posted by Daved
It is too clear and so it is hard to see.
A dunce once searched for fire with a lighted lantern.
Had he known what fire was,
He could have cooked his rice much sooner.
You're right, I just tried it on VC++ 2005.
I don't know how often I'd need to use it though.
And now the question is how to do that on a non-english keyboard. Hmmm.
Hey sorry for the delay, thanks for the replies!
I am using a swedish keyboard and the } sign is at Alt Gr-0 on that. Is it not like that on an english keyboard? I can't get Ctrl-} or Shift-Ctrl-} working in any way...
Same here. It's not working for me either >_<
I believe it's loose somewhere on an english keyboard?Is it not like that on an english keyboard?
I feel your pain...I can't get Ctrl-} or Shift-Ctrl-} working in any way...
AFAIK, those are only the default key mappings. You should be able to remap to whatever you like.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
So does anyone know what it's actually called? I didn't find it during a fast search through the Edit menu where most such things lie.
Or you could just install an English keyboard.
Gods no. How horrible :/
English keyboards are horrible. Keys and things being everywhere they shouldn't be.

When I worked in Finland, I bought a UK keyboard with me because the native keyboards are just too weird
Spanish keyboards are nearly as bad, but I wasn't there for very long.

It just goes to show that don't use a keyboard other than your native keyboard
>> It's probably shift-Ctrl-} then.
I can't believe I never tried that. Thanks.
