Hi Christoph.

Try looking on squeak-dev for more information about user-input event processing and their quirks on various platforms.

In this case, it would help if you could find out the raw event data that arrives in Squeak through the EventSensor. It is an array filled with numbers. That a look at the class comment from EventSensor.

Considering control keys, also take a look at the mapping tables in TextEditor and all its subclasses.

We chose to not touch this issue in 5.3. We might want to harmonize that after the release.

I am in favor of programming against "#isControlKeyPressed and #keyCharacter ==" instead of actual control keycodes:

It would feel more object-oriented. But that's just my two cents. ;-) I rarely work in terminals. Anyway, one could easily map all control keycodes to higher-level object events in EventSensor or HandMorph.

Or maybe use [cmd]+[c] instead of [ctrl]+[c] anyway ... Hmmm....

Best,
Marcel

Possibly related issue:
Ctrl + End generates an event like this: keystroke '<Cmd-d>' (100)

Hi all,

sorry to report to you another, though minor issue related to keyboard handling.

Steps to reproduce:
* Open a fresh trunk image on Windows
* turn off num lock (so that 4 works like arrowLeft)

* Go to any editor, such as workspace
* Press the number key 5

Expected behavior:
No character is inserted, as digits are turned off.

Actual behavior:
The quotes character (") is inserted.

Notes:
The issue already existed in Squeak 5.2, 4.6 and 3.9 (from my random tests).

Best,
Christoph
