Are you using version 2.0.3 or an earlier one?  If not 2.0.3, try upgrading 
and selecting the OS X keyboard mapping from the User Interface / Keyboard 
/ Personality preference.  You may also need to undo any xmodmap changes,
if you made some.  The current OS X how-to describes all you should need
to do:

I mention this because there were recent changes in how the keyboard is
set up on OS X.

If this doesn't solve it, please let us know.  We've seen one other case 
where X11 on OS X 10.4 send wrong key codes to Wing when used w/ some types 
of keyboards (I think some subset of non-US/english ones).  We have a gross 
hack that works around this for the case we have seen (and we can send it 
to you if you want to try it) but are still trying to figure out why the 
key codes are completely wrong for many keys.

They guy that worked on this may have additional comments once he sees this 
email... please let me know if the above helps or not.

Thanks for using Wing.
