Hello,Edward.
Can you confirm that the problem can be reproduced on jdk 8?

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().

I'm attempting to build the relevant parts of OpenJDK to attempt to fix
this myself, but I need some help getting started.

Thanks,
