In the VM code, all three are generated in sequence by the segment below.

So, yes, it is an unholy mess.�

The real key taken inside Pharo is the macRomanCharacter getting translated in the lookupString thing.

The KeyDown and KeyUp events are holding the evt.charCode, whatever this happens to be.

The file is�sqSqueakOSXApplication+events.m in�platforms\iOS\vm\OSX

My current machine here is a Win8 box and I am on the move, so, no way to test at the moment.

NSString *lookupString = [[NSString alloc] initWithCharacters: &unicode length: 1];

[lookupString getBytes: &macRomanCharacter maxLength: 1 usedLength: NULL encoding: NSMacOSRomanStringEncoding

� options: 0 range: picker remainingRange: NULL];

[lookupString release];

evt.pressCode = EventKeyDown;

unsigned short keyCodeRemembered = evt.charCode;

evt.utf32Code = 0;

evt.reserved1 = 0;

evt.windowIndex = (int)[[mainView windowLogic] windowIndex];

[self pushEventToQueue: (sqInputEvent *)&evt];

evt.charCode = macRomanCharacter;

evt.pressCode = EventKeyChar;

evt.modifiers = evt.modifiers;

evt.utf32Code = unicode;

[self pushEventToQueue: (sqInputEvent *) &evt];

if (i > 1 || ![mainView lastSeenKeyBoardStrokeDetails]) {

evt.pressCode = EventKeyUp;

evt.charCode = keyCodeRemembered;

evt.utf32Code = 0;

[self pushEventToQueue: (sqInputEvent *) &evt];

}

I've attached the file so you can see it in its full glory. It is indeed very peculiar

Phil
