Version 10.2, key shortcuts for matching brackets do not work?

Question

Bug introduced in 10.2

• System: Linux

---

Once updated to 10.2, my Alt+} and Alt+) do not return a pair of brackets but a single right one, as if Alt is not pressed. Alt+] still works.

Answer 1

If you add this to your KeyEventTranslations.tr file it works on Linux (I only tested english keyboard layout):

 Item[KeyEvent["}", Modifiers -> {Command, Shift}],
    FrontEndExecute[{
        FrontEnd`NotebookWrite[FrontEnd`InputNotebook[], "{", After],
        FrontEnd`NotebookWrite[FrontEnd`InputNotebook[], "}", Before]
    }]
    ],

    Item[KeyEvent[")", Modifiers -> {Command, Shift}],
    FrontEndExecute[{
        FrontEnd`NotebookWrite[FrontEnd`InputNotebook[], "(", After],
        FrontEnd`NotebookWrite[FrontEnd`InputNotebook[], ")", Before]
    }]
    ],

If so desired (and if I find time) I could add this to the Shortcuts` package.
