Ok, well you know you can set the interrupt key to something else.

In EventSensor >> process event you have
     "Check if the event is a user interrupt"
     (type = EventTypeKeyboard and:[(evt at: 4) = 0 and:[
         ((evt at: 3) bitOr: ((evt at: 5) bitShift: 8)) =  
interruptKey]])
              ifTrue:["interrupt key is meta - not reported as event"
                     ^interruptSemaphore signal].

Keyboard events
====================
Keyboard events are generated when keyboard input is detected.
[1]    - event type 2
[2]    - time stamp
[3]    - character code
[4]    - press state; integer with the following meaning
         0    -    character
         1    -    key press (down)
         2    -     key release (up)
[5]    - modifier keys; bitfield with the following entries:
         1    -    shift key
         2    -    ctrl key
         4    -    (Mac specific) option key
         8    -    Cmd/Alt key



which means if you fiddle with the interruptKey value you can set it  
to something else.


Sensor setInterruptKey: ($. asciiValue bitOr: 16r0800)

that sets it to cmd '.'  on english keyboard, but I wonder if the  
code is really ($. asciiValue bitOr: 16r0900) because you are hitting  
shift cmd '.'

Seems to me this should a preference in the image that one can override.
