Details

The Mac KeyPress event handler returns bogus char codes for alt key events.

Both control and alt key press events should return the lower case key if shift
isn't pressed, otherwise the upper case key:
  alt-a           should give a char code of a
  alt-shift-a (A) should give a char code of A
  alt-2           should give a char code of 2
  alt-shift 2 (@) should give a char code of @
       (assuming that's what's on that keyboard)
