Hi, I have the same problem with Mathematica 5.0.1 on Fedora (on Red Hat it worked fine): the brackets *are* produced, but always with a beep! I wrote to Technical Support, and they suggested as a workaround to redefine the KeyEventTranslation so that the brackets can be produced with Mod2: <http://support.wolfram.com/mathematica/systems/unix/interface/brackets.html> I can now input brackets with e.g. Super_R ("Windows key") + 7 (no beep!), but I am *not* happy with this solution... Any suggestions? Or does anybody know why it worked with Red Hat but not on Fedora? Regards, Marcus Boris wrote: > I have Mathematica 5 installed on FreeBSD 5.2.1 with Linux > compatibility enabled.
