ID 350777 - Asian-based keyboard entry formats do not correctly allow 'option' based nodal operation shortcuts correctly in Nuke 11 releases.

Follow

Problem summary
Within Nuke 11.0/11.1 releases using the Mac operating system, if you use either Asian-based character keyboard entry formats of Japanese 'Romanji' or Chinese 'Pingyin', you will encounter issues with 'option' based shortcuts with nodes.

When conducting any operations that require the use of the 'option' key to conduct an operation on a node (e.g clone 'option + k' or duplicate 'option + c'), the expected function will not work.

The user must select the 'function' key in addition to the option key to run the operation.

This issue only occurs on Mac operating systems and only in the Nuke 11.0/11.1 releases.

Customer reported version
nuke.11.1v3

Customer reported platform
10.13

Steps to reproduce
1) Locate the keyboard input preferences in 'System Preferences > Keyboard > Input Source'

2) Add a new keyboard input '+', select Japanese and ensure 'Romanji' is selected. Also ensure that the 'show input menu in menu bar' is selected (see below)
​​

​​

3) Close the system preferences window and select the 'Romanji' keyboard input in the menu bar (see below)
​​
​​

4) Open a new Nuke 11.0/11.1 script

5) Create a 'Grade' node in the Node graph and clone it using the standard 'option + k' shortcut
Result: Does not clone using correct shortcut

6) Try cloning using 'option + function + k'
Result: Clones correctly

Note: You may need to disable the mission control automatic 'function' keyboard shortcut to allow you to use 'function' in Nuke.

7) To ensure this is only related to nodes, press 'option + i' in the Node graph
Result: This works as expected

Workaround
Until fixed, we suggest disabling the 'function' shortcut association to mission control and use the function key as an additional key to node-based option related operations.
