That should now work, thanks to the extra keycodes that I introduced to 
"MapKey" yesterday.   I suggest filtering out all characters below 0x0020 in 
"KeyPress" before inserting characters into the text field.  This should 
hopefully work with accented characters also.

I modified it so that it will always deliver the "KeyDown" event (with the 
code set to "ToolkitKeys.None"), even if the key is not understood.
