The MacOS global event filter strips out keyUp events. May I ask, what do 
you need them for? Or are you just curious as to why you are not getting 
them?

There is a way to change the global event filter, to tell it to pass you 
all events, including keyUp events, but I don't have that reference 
handy. If you need it, I can look it up for you.
