I tried again after a few time and indeed it works
-keydown: in the view does work indeed with your solution however I did simplify to illustrate the issue.
My initial program uses -moveRight: and moveLeft: in the viewController to test both combined keys option and arrows. When using the combination, the option is never detected.
I will issue a new request for it
