Is this an omission in MaxGUI, or an OS limitation?

Import MaxGui.Drivers

As far as I know an OS limitation: I think OS X does not allow you to create menu shortcuts that would interfere with the intended usage of that key (for enter/return e.g. selecting the default option in dialog boxes or entering text in text boxes). If you want to catch such a key press for other uses, you have to implement your own event handler for the keystrokes.
