[8] Review request for 7196547: [macosx] Implement dead key detection for KeyEvent

[Scott Kovatch]

Ah, UCKeyTranslate, how I've missed you. :-)

This looks like pretty standard dead-key handling code, and looks fine to me. One very small point and not worth sending another review: at line 672 
 672     // out = [jkeyCode, jkeyLocation];
I would add the testDeadChar to the end of the comment.
