So the change is then the discarding of shiftEncose: and its use
in initializeShiftCmdKeyShortcuts.  This change was made when the signature
for enclose: et al was changed to take KeyboardEvents as arguments instead
of the characterStream made in Morphic-nice.566.  I agree with Nicholas'
comment in Morphic-nice.566 that "#shiftEnclose: is hardcoding the keyboard
layout, which is not compatible with foreign keyboards and modern VM, and
prevents correct enclosing to work.".  Looks like there isn't enough
information in a KeyboardEvent, e.g. the shifted and unshifted characters,
for enclose: to do the right thing.  We need both the shifted and the
unshifted character, and then enclose: can do the right thing.  But the VM
does not pass up this information yet.

I propose we modify the VMs asap to use the "reserved1" 7th field in a
sqKeyboardEvent to contain the modified character as answered by the OS.
For and against?
