This works as expected on my machine (Mac OSX, 10.2.8) -- all keycodes
come through and the optionKey is correct when up and down.

on rawKeyDown whichKey
 put "raw key " & whichKey && the optionKey
 pass rawKeyDown -- same with or without this
end rawKeyDown


Did you try typing the keystrokes into a field?


Nope, doesn't work in a field.


Having worked at Apple, the feeling was that the command key and function keys are for user input (menus, and user or app choosable functions respectively). And there's the question of what happens if someone wants to type a bullet character into the field with option-8, is Richard not going to let the bullet character appear in the field?

There is a way around this bug of course -- Richard can simply watch every character being added to the field, and if the last character matches one of the optionKey characters, then do whatever he was going to do in the rawKeyDown handler.
