One way I've found to do this is to open a terminal window and type:

~ % echo -n a | tr a '\033' | copy

Then in IB paste into the Key: field of the attributes inspector and press
OK.  You won't be able to see the character (looks like a space) but it'll
work.  Another useful code is \177 for the Delete key.
(Oh, and make that window a panel.)
