Marcus,

As far as I know, there exist 2 changesets that allow a Morph motion to be 
controlled by keyboard - one from Scott Wallace and one from Ned Konz. I am 
just a messanger, they will be able to provide more details, but here are 
links to some related mail:

http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2004-December/085916.html

If you go through that thread you will see both changesets attached plus some 
discussion.
