I changed the .fwplay recording of keystrokes to integers (from char) so I can transmit control characters, And I moved the platform2web3dActionKey(key) mapping function earlier, and specialized it for LINUX and WIN32 for a bit finer granularity control to accommodate platform differences better -such as the DEL key which on win32 needs to be explicitly inserted into the transformed character stream for actions in StringSensor node, but on linux is a routine character- and so the special keys recorded in the .fwplay file can be played back on a different platform with the same meaning.

The 65535 is 0xFFFF and stands for DEL, and the 12 means raw-action-key-down, 13 up (whereas regular raw keys get a 2 down, 3 up, and 1= translated (modifiers like shift applied) down+up keystroke.

Win32 can now use the numpad in fly mode, as can any system that identifies its numpad key scancodes and does the transform to NUM0-NUM9,NUMDEC which I've defined as an extension along with the web3d actionKey codes for KeySensor nodes

I was able to test on Ubuntu linux and win32 XP.
I don't own a Mac, and mobile devices are untested, but I tried very hard to leave things working the same assuming an app calls fwl_do_keyPress(char).
The modified linux -using xlib handle_XEvents in Mainloop.c- and win32 call a new function fwl_do_rawKeyPress(int key, int type) directly, to achieve the better control and platform-specific platform2web3d lookup.
A few things to check if you rebuild OSX:
1. Fly mode
2. KeySensor and StringSensor - here's some tests -use the *All.x3d except in the StringSensor set allowDeletion='true' to test the DEL key.
