All,
I have a 17" PB with a Bluetooth keyboard and shift, option and
control key downs work just fine in mouse up handlers..... So it
isn't a generic problem. It's true that some? bluetooth devices won't
wake a Mac up if its asleep (as it has to be alert to listen) but
other than that it shouldn't matter.

pressed.
Ugh. This would be bad. I often use a "if the shiftkey is down" or an
"if the optionkey is down" in a mouseup handler to provide special
features. If you're right, this will no longer work for wireless
keyboard users.
I empathize with you. Did you try investigating rawKeyDown to see
if *any*
messages are sent? Hopefully you will find a workaround.
I recently endured some significant headaches (and subsequent
embarrassment)
from a client demo that refused to work on Windows. Had to get
everything
working on a Mac at the last minute and apologize to the client for
the
apparent lack of functionality in Rev. After many hours of testing/
hair
pulling, the issue turned out to be a malfunctioning keyboard that
I only
thought to check on a whim, after much help from this list.
When faced with issues like these, the "Reasons You're A Software
Developer"
offer little comfort. It just goes to show that whatever you build
will
*never* work on every system out there and there is no substitute
for, as
Klaus Major says, "Test, test, test".
