Hmm. If you run the program xev, it will print the things it gets for a key 
press. Run it and press fn+alt+5 then fn+alt+6. Send us the output of just 
the lines that print when you press and release these keys (xev sends a lot 
of output). I assume that these keys work in MacOS?

Also, which keys are { and } on?
