Follow-up Comment #3, bug #25395 (project gnustep):

I see this is a moot topic here. I did consult only the Apple documentation
and was a bit confused by things now working properly afterwards.

An added point is here probably that "esc" cannot be handled by characters
and it is not present among the unicode constants, which I find very strange
(check the second link posted by Matt)

Currently I worked around this by defining myself a constant and assigning it
different values between gnustep and mac. I hope that GNUstep returns the same
code on different pplatforms.

Secondly, I agree that "hardware independent " is also misleading here: it
means only that the same os run on different hardware will return the same
code, it does not speak of different implementations. But, of course, since
OpenStep is no more, APple does not consider Cocoa itself portable, so it ends
up just meaning that different apple computers and keyboards will return the
same key code. Our scenario is slightly more varied!

We can close this bug if we think there is no good solution, but it will
remain of course a point where a potential user porting his mac app might
remain confused, maybe we a wiki entry?
