The problem here is, unfortunately, in the Mac VM. Evaluate `Sensor kbdTest`

Try pressing [2]. It works as expected.
Now do [Shift][2]. You get (I guess) $" . On my US keyboard, I get $@. OK.
Now do [Command][2]. Still OK. You get $2, with 'macCommand/winAlt' 
modifier.
Now do [Command][Shift][2]. Now this is a problem. You get $2 with the 
correct modifiers, but not $" or $@. The VM doesn't give us the real 
meaning of the keystroke. Without knowing the keyboard layout there's no 
way to know.
(now press [x] to exit).

For these incorrectly reported events, the best I could do from the 
image side, is to assume a US keyboard.
Perhaps we could add some configuration file, where we can say 
'[Shift][2] means  $", not $@' or such. We'd need to do a survey of 
various keyboard layouts, etc.

If you want to see this mess in all its "glory", take a look at 
#generateKeyboardEvent:

Thanks,
