Well you have 3 different events that occur on tapping that key(s) This follows the rules set by the windows VM. on the down stroke, we give you EventTypeKeyboard->EventKeyDown, the macintosh keycode (some virtual magic number), and zero for the unicode value After the operating system determines what that plastic or rubber key was, we send EventTypeKeyboard-> EventKeyChar, the macintosh macRoman character (if possible, may be zero), and the unicode value Once the key is released, we send EventTypeKeyboard> EventKeyUp , the macintosh keycode (some virtual magic number), and zero for the unicode value If the key is held down it repeats, and according to windows rules it doesn't send the keyup (I believe check the archives), just key down, key char I had offered to return the unicode value for keydown/keyup but was told it was too hard for the windows VM to provide that data at the point where key down/up occurs http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2003-December/071701.html As you know some flavours of the Squeak UI look for character input on keyChar or keyUp...
