I'm using 4.3pre 3 (4.3pre 2 has the same behavior, none other tested) on SUSE10.0. While typing in system, all is OK. In JEDIT I can't write character $.
Trying to define new keyboard shortcut nothing appears after typing AltGr + key.
Have Czech keyboard, where needed key is neat key L; so keys are from left to right:
JKL$
This is JKL; on us keyboard (all letters are capitalized - to prevent confusion letter l and number 1)
On czech keyboard us key ; is mapped onto UNICODE 01F6 - LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH RING ABOVE ( http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0100.pdf )
It seems, that only this key is eated by JEDIT ???????????

Thanks Mike
