When I do the experiment myself (code below) I get what you seem to
want. I'm on a mac tho, and I don't have a linux machine handy to
test. So, I'm not sure what the right answer is. Matthew would
probably know better, but maybe a first step is for you to try the
below.

#lang scheme/gui

(define t%
  (class text%
    (define/override (on-char evt)
      (printf "key-code ~s control ~s\n"
              (send evt get-key-code)
              (send evt get-control-down))
      (super on-char evt))
    (super-new)))

(define f (new frame% [label ""] [width 200] [height 200]))
(define t (new t%))
(define ec (new editor-canvas% [parent f] [editor t]))
(send ec focus)
(send f show #t)
