OK, I have fixed the problem with a patch to the Pharo VM. I cannot claim to understand what is going on with the keyboard handling there but I see what is missing.

Now, how should I go about submitting this patch for inclusion in the VM?

For Pharo, create a new case at pharo.fogbugz.com with (Project=PharoVM, Milestone=Pharo4.0) (because that is where most attention will be, although Pharo 3.1 will probably pick up the latest VM with it). [pharo-dev] is a better place for VM discussion than [pharo-users], so post a link to the case there. Also its also good practice to cross-post VM discussion to [vm-dev] for the Squeak guys to pick up. [vm-dev] = http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/vm-dev You might find this useful... https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-vm/blob/master/platforms/unix/doc/REA... ...and you probably should fork that repo and issue a pull request with your change (and note that fogbugz) - but I haven't done any VM stuff myself, so others may provide better info. Thanks for you contribution. cheers -ben
