KeyTranslate and UCKeyTranslate question

Hi,

My application allows users to specify a hot key for activating it. This is done using a text field in the Preferences, and my controller catches keyDown events if that field has the focus, stores the key code and displays the character(s) represented by the key.

Of course, after the user quits and re-opens the app I also need to display the the key in the text field (and display the right character even if they change the keyboard layout in the meantime).

This is why I can't just display the NSEvent's "characters", but instead use the KeyTranslate and UCKeyTranslate functions to translate the key code to characters.

However, these functions don't seem to return the right characters for many keys (e.g. Delete, Enter, the cursor keys and F-keys).

Does anyone know if there is a way around this, apart from hard-coding those key codes that don't work?

Thanks
Amar
