Issue 6688 in pharo: Cmd+. interrupt key unreachable on some keyboards.

New issue 6688 by [hidden email]: Cmd+. interrupt key unreachable on  
some keyboards.
http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=6688

On a french notebook keyboard, the interrupt key cannot be generated. What  
is generated is allways Cmd+shift+ (at least under Linux).

To reproduce, change the interrupt key to $; and notice how interrupting  
becomes possible.

ok that should be made an option which can be easily changed.

So, as default on some locales, it won't work ?

On Win32 (german locale) I can not interrupt

   (Delay forSeconds: 10) wait. 1 inspect

Even when I set a new key like ";" (without ALT) I can not
interrupt the delay.

  |handler|
  handler := UserInterruptHandler new setInterruptKeyValue: ($; asciiValue).
  handler registerIn: InputEventFetcher default.
  (Delay forSeconds: 10) wait. 1 inspect

I can not interrupt with ";" while the delay is waiting. But it interrupts
aftewards when I hit ";". I'm not sure it is really a locale problem.

This is not new in 2.0. I'm tagging it for 3.0
