SDL_KEYDOWN and SDL_KEYUP events not generated under OSX MachO?

SDL_KEYDOWN and SDL_KEYUP events not generated under OSX MachO ?

I’m building an SDL video app with CW8 on OSX and for whatever reason, I’m not getting any key events. I slightly suspicious that I have managed to capture key events with some past incarnation of this machO app, but I don’t know for sure.

I tried enabling these key events specifically using the SDL API but still I could not catch any with SDL_PollEvent. I am able to get the mousdowns and resize events.

Anyone got any ideas, tips ?
