That's what I observe. AltGr-8 gives me the expected '[', AltGr-9 the 
expected ']' and so on. It's only that pressing the AltGr key for 
whatever reason causes a beep as if something was wrong (using a Sun 
keyboard german country kit). That's kind of annoying. And I am really 
missing Ctrl-k.

Anybody knows who's responsible for this keystroke? If this does not 
work on FreeBSD as well I guess it's not Solaris but GNUstep related. 
What would be the correct class to add this to? My first guess would be 
NSText.
