FYI the problem is not as such the keyboard handling of the OS, it is the keyboard handling of Cocoa, i.e. that Cocoa has its own keyboard event based on the actual Carbon event, but lacking some important information to actually decipher this event correctly according to modifiers.
Even for the plain old Qwerty layout, TextMate actually has *heuristics* to decipher the event.
As for what Leopard may or may not change, I can’t say. But there is one new line in a header that has made me add “revisit key event decoding” to the to-do. But don’t get your hopes up, it’s no simple thing, and presently I have no idea if the new route is plausible.
