Jay Morgan, thank you! Problem solved. Rewriting Jay's solution again to
take this thread up on google.

To make alt and command keys work on gedit for mac;

1. Open Gedit

2. Right click on the page where you type, go to input methods, and
select multipress.

Title:
  Gedit 'hash' symbol missing in MAC OS X port

Status in Mactel Support:
  Invalid

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.
  Alan Lewis
