Which is of course expected since only keyUp events are passed into #handleKeyUp:, so #isKeyDown always is false.
You need to handle both keyDown and keyUp events, and track the state of pressed keys.
Note that the keyValue in up/down events is system-specific (unlike keyStroke events which have actual characters).
Also note that this behavior also depends on your OS and VM version. The Windows VM handles up/down events nicely for a long time, Mac VMs since recently, Unix VMs are broken I think.
I'm attaching a small example morph demonstrating this. - Bert -
