It's a pity that this is so difficult to get right. Doesn't Mac have something equivalent to XLookupString()? You can see in gui_x11.c, gui_x11_key_hit_cb() how it's used there to figure out what modifiers to pass. Hopefully you can send me a fix for this soon. -- "I simultaneously try to keep my head in the clouds and my feet on the ground.
