You probably have to create a custom keybinding $HOME/.jlinebindings.properties like:

Well, I think it is a problem with either the windowing toolkit or its use in groovyConsole. Unfortunately, I have very limited experience working with Java-based windowing toolkits to be able to help.

Oh, this is the GUI console? Not the cli? I've no clue about that... why is this assigned to me?

This is not a Groovy problem but a Java VM problem. I verified that under 1.6.0-03 if you do doublequote then space that a double quote appears (similarly a double quote and another double quote creates the umlaut (two dots characters)) while under 1.5.0_13 it is broken. This is on Ubuntu Gusty Gibbon as of 13 Oct. Verified failures on both the SwingSet demo app and the GroovyConsole, with identical results.

So the solution is to use the 1.6.0-03 JVM on your linux box for any java UI work.
