I can confirm that Alt/Option key does not work with native gedit 2.30.2 on Mac OS X 10.6.3.
-- Gedit 'hash' symbol missing in MAC OS X port https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/553673 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mactel Support, which is the registrant for Mactel Support. Status in Mactel Support: New Bug description: Hi Gedit community. [GEdit version: 2.28.3] First can I say thank you for doing a MAC port, great effort. However, there is a REALLY SERIOUS error in that the 'hash' symbol - alt-3 on UK (British) keyboards does not work. I use gedit every day on my Linux machine and was delighted to discover a MAC port had been developed - yipee, I can do all my editing with the same great tool on all my computers :) However, imagine my surprise when trying the MAC port for the first time and attempting to write C/C++ code, only to find the # symbol is not available!! making (OS X) gedit useless for programming. I did discover that it is possible to add a # symbol using the built-in TextEdit app, then copy and paste hash symbol into Gedit, but that is really not a reasonable solution. I realise that the majority of users are on Linux and that Mac users are probably in the minority, but if this can be fixed soon I would be grateful. I would like to use the same great editor on all my machines. Thanks in anticipation.
