[PD-dev] (pd-gui-rewrite) navigating text with arrows bug

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Strange, moving with arrows and getting arrow key names from [keyname]  
works fine in 10.5.  10.6 uses TkCocoa while earlier versions of Tcl/ 
Tk use TkCarbon.  It would be worth asking on the tcl-mac list.

For the object/message boxes, the bindings are set in pdtk_text.tcl in  
pdtk_text_new since the bindings apply directly to only that given  
box.  pd_bindings.tcl is for all of the bindings related to the  
menubar and windows.  Its not perfectly organized for sure, I am  
certainly open to suggestions as to how things could be better  
organized.

Also, I'm in #dataflow a fair amount if you ever want to ping me with  
questions like these.
