You should indicate which macintosh VM and version you are using.

Under os-x you go to system preferences, the international icon,  
select the Input Menu tab and ensure the "Show input menu in menu  
bar"  is checked
that should show an icon in  your menu bar which you can select, then  
from that menu select "Show keyboard viewer"

Under os-x the keystrokes are given as key down, key char and key up  
events to Squeak. These values are given in MacRoman, Unicode, and  
keyboard keycodes with depending on how they are entered, either from  
the keyboard or via an keyboard input palette. Usually the MacRoman  
values are given after os-x translation services had decide what to  
do with the multiple keystrokes involved.

The three key board events are then mangled by Smalltalk code into  
what you actually get in Morphic, and of course differently in Tweak.

You need to give a bit more information about the keyboard  you have  
set in os-x preferences, which keystrokes you are using, what you  
expect that keystroke to give you
say in TextEdit, and what happens in Squeak.
