[gtk-osx-users] Mac keysyms?

[Allin Cottrell <cottrell wfu edu>]

I've been trying to intercept and respond to Alt-w in a gtk-quartz 
applications -- without success until today, when I finally thought 
to print to stderr the keysym I was getting. Turns out it is 
16785937 decimal (0x1002211), the summation sign (Sigma), also known 
as Unicode U+2211.

Aha, yes, Alt-letter in Macspeak turns into special characters ( 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Option_key ). But can anyone tell me, 
is there a symbolic name for this anywhere in GDK? I can't find 
anything relevant in the GDK headers.
