Hi Robert, I've just tried osgkeyboard on Mac OS X 10.6.5: whatever key I press I see that it is correctly written in yellow in the row just below the keyboard, but it is NOT highlighted on the keyboard itself. I'm talking about not only the modifiable-keys but also about keys (such as backspace, space, ...) that cannot have a modified status (at least I guess).
One note not related to this topic: I noticed that plugins are not built into the osgPlugins-2.9.11 folder but just at the same level of the dylibs. Hope this helps. Cheers.
