As I understand, normally, when modifier keys are pressed (for example, Cmd) the app should receive English letters, but it seems like it's not the case for DrRacket. I'll look into it more, and let you know if I come out with the fix (or maybe the Cocoa version won't even have this bug).

FWIW, Chrome seems to use Cmd+Option+Left and Cmd+Option+Right.
