No offence but I don't want to install your application on my computer
if it tries to do that.

And what if another application on the computer along with yours is
trying to do the same thing? Which one gets it "first"?

I have no idea if this is possible, but if it was easy, there'd be
keystroke logging software rampant on Mac OS X, which would suck. I
hope it is not possible short of a kext.
