Hello AWT dev, I have a pet issue that prevents me from using NetBeans 7.4+ on Mac OS X because I use the DVORAK keyboard layout [1]. Basically, when I press Ctrl-e to go to the end of the line, the system things I'm pressing Ctrl-d, and deletes a character. According to this research from Svata Dedic on the NetBeans team, it's a problem in KeyEvent.getExtendedKeyCode().

Thanks, Ed
