Nicolas Cellier uploaded a new version of Kernel to project The Trunk: http://source.squeak.org/trunk/Kernel-nice.1292.mcz

Assuming that patched VM will produce ASCII control characters (code 1 to 26) again when pressing ctrl+letter, revert some of the recent keyboard event mapping changes (See https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/pull/460).
Those recent changes have unexpected consequences and implications that we might better postpone post release. We should never have to say that, but it's easier to fix the VM than the image in this case ;)
One example of consequences is that cmd+7 is captured by DockingBarMorph as menu #7 rather than passed to theTextEditor if Preferences duplicateAllControlAndAltKeys.
I guess that we have this preference enabled to make windows user experience not to werid wrt native feel (ctrl+key is the shortcut of choice)...
