Thanks for taking the time and reporting it to us. I could not reproduce the bug with a Swiss German keyboard layout. It worked fine with 2.1.0 on macOS 12.6.3 (21G419).

Could you please try to see if you can save resources with ⌘+S with the latest Theia Blueprint application? Here is the download link: https://theia-ide.org/docs/blueprint_download#downloads

Hmm, i see. Then it must be the hardware (the swiss keyboard on a 2017 iMac), i don't know.
I installed the IDE on my M2 Air with swiss keyboard and the behaviour is opposite,
the IDE does like autosave (local and remote sketch) immediately (I just changed the code without pressing a key).
See the white dot disappears automatic:

I don't get it tbh, is there a setting for this feature?

Hi, auto-save is enabled by default in IDE2. Whenever you type, IDE2 will save your changes after a couple of hundred milliseconds. If you want to disable it, you can do it from the settings dialog.

Now that you know how to turn auto-save on/off, please help me understand your problem with CMD+S on a Swiss German keyboard. Do you have auto-save off, and when you press CMD+S, the editor content is not saved? Thanks

[CptHolzschnauz]

Hi
Didn't know that. With my M2 Air everything works a expected with the swiss german shortcut.
I'm abroad for the next days and i will test again on my Intel iMac after my return and post the results here.
Thank you for your work!
PS: The new release was a big step forward with the "git" features.

Hi @per1234
Sorry, i forgot.
Behaviour is still the same, on the M2 Mac Air everything works as intended, with my iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015)
it's not saving with cmd+s, so
"Do you have auto-save off, and when you press CMD+S, the editor content is not saved? Thanks"
Exactly, it's not saved on my intel based imac. Auto save works perfectly.

IDE 2.2.1, both computers have a Swiss-German keyboard.

UPDATE: I tested it with a old MAC Pro, Intel based, Swiss-German keyboard, everything works as intended.

I see we have another report of this problem: #2263 Even though this one was submitted first, it is a bit ambiguous so I'm going to close this in favor of the other.

If you end up with additional information to share, feel free to comment in the other thread.

Thanks for your report!
