Bryce,

That is an interesting thought, but a quick check in gedit and Pharo
shows that there is a difference - gedit behaves much more as I would
expect than does Pharo.  That is with with both defaults under Ubuntu's
keyboard options, and with a couple of tweaks that looked promising. 
There is a shift/numeric option that makes shift-control-arrow work
though, so there still could be options that would explain everything,
especially if you have something set that forces numbers.  Which
distribution do you use?

Take your time; let me know when you are ready to fiddle with it. 
Thanks!

Bill

but if you are hacking the vm anyway...   Please let me know if I can
help out with running down keycodes, etc.

Thanks, first let me finish the current task in Exupery, then once
I've got that stabilised, I'll look at compiling the Freetype support.

After that we'll see how much more time is available. I'm already
maintaining an Linux VM for Exupery, so adding a few features for
Pharo shouldn't be too much extra work.

P.S. I just tested. Here the numeric keys work as numeric keys
with the num-lock selected or not. So I suspect it's configurable
via X without needing a VM modification.
