Hi Louis & Jürgen:
Jürgen:
I can try to de-bug in Xcode but I need to look at where the Terminal input is parsed.
But I forget where that is in the source code.

Hmmm…. Now I’m more confused than usual.
I set TAB to 	 using the Ukelele application- which I use to make changes to the MacAplAlt.keylayout.
For example the Return key has a Unicode value of 

In Xcode when I Run the binary things work as expected.
Mind you I do launch it with —noColor —noCIN so as not to get extraneous terminal formatting.
note that alt-TAB, shift-TAB, and alt+shift+TAB present the glyphs that you indicated.
Thats because I did not set them to have Unicode values. However TAB itself works correctly! 

But interestingly when I run apl from Terminal I get this:
Gandalf:~ pteeson$ /Volumes/Data/Development/MyProjects/GNUAPL/apl-svn/src/apl; exit;
which has the same glyphs as in Xcode and your email.
But the TAB key seems to be nil potent. The cursor just remains at the indented position.

Louis:
Out of curiosity:
Which model Mac? Which version OS X?

I assume that you:
• set System Preferences / Keyboard / Input Sources to Show Input menu in Menu Bar?
• that you added the MacAplAlt by pressing the + icon and scrolled to the bottom of the displayed languages to Other?
• you have APL333 font installed?
• you have MacAplAlt selected as input?

respect…

Louis please confirm that the TAB key now works on
your Mac by placing this new layout in
~/Library/Keyboard Layouts.


Sorry to say, this one still types out:
TAB: 
SHIFT+TAB: 
ALT+TAB: 𐀆
SHIFT+ALT+TAB: 𐀅

The last two look like Quad with the font in my browser right now,
but they're not.
