Hello,

On 
<http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/known_problems.html#problems_on_mac> 
you write:

> Problem: Non US keyboards only: dead keys don't work.  For example, 
> with a French keyboard, typing "^" (dead circumflex) followed  by "o" 
> should give "?". In fact, it gives "o".
>
> Workaround:  None.

Although it would be nice to have this fixed, what is worse is that it 
is not possible to use Alt-key combinations to write.

Example:

1) Select the Norwegian keyboard layout
2) Click somewhere in the styled view
3) try to type Alt-( - it should give [, but returns nothing

It DOES work when typing in the attribute value field in the attribute 
pane. Even dead keys work there. As this proves that it is possible to 
write using dead keys and Alt keys in XMLEditor, although not in the 
main text area, I would very much ask you to solve this problem. The 
combination of the two bugs makes it very cumbersome to write 
non-english or multilingual documents, even just technical English 
documents.

Configuration:

XXE 2.8p1
MacOS 10.3.8   (latest version)
Java 1.4.2_05  (latest version)

Best regards,
Sjur N. Moshagen
