Yes, there are work-arounds. My post was about confirming the bug so I can report it to Livecode.

In this case, we have a shipping application in which the optionKeyDown handler USED to work that now a customer has (correctly) reported it broken.

If everyone just codes work-arounds and bugs are never reported, then the bugs will never get fixed.

Sorry, a long frustrating day.

Have not played with your handler, but why not just:

on rawKeyDown tKey

if the optionkey is down then answer numToChar(tkey)

end rawKeyDown
