Bijan,

I have attached some code to file in that will report keystrokes received fairly early in the process. This may help in understanding what's happening in each case.

These work the same on the Mac and the only difference in what my code report is that one says CONTROL and the other says COMMAND.

It would be interesting to compare what you are actually getting in these cases.

>cmd-shift/ctrl-9: nothing.

So, do you get keystrokes reported here?

Control-s is subtle. It's like cmd-g.

Sounds in general like many control key combos are not getting through or have values that are not what Squeak expects.

Cheers,
