Yes, I understand that this is the problem. Clearly, bibledit works
differently with the keyboard than the native Mac programs.

I must admit I do not know the underlying systems that provide Bibledit
with the characters while you type. The MacPorts systems are supposed to
see this, or you need to install extra software in MacPorts that can see
your special keyboard. But this is something that I have no knowledge
of. My suggestion is to ask the people at http://www.macports.org/.

Yes, these others know, but bibledit does not know. Even on Linux, where
Bibledit is developed, Bibledit does not know anything about keyboard.
It just gets the data delivered and passes it to the text editor. The
problem really is not in bibledit, but in the supporting systems.
