I'm trying to write a preference pane that allows the user to
specify a hotkey.
Take a look at Nathan Day's "NDHotKeyEvent" utility code:
http://homepage.mac.com/nathan_day/pages/source.xml
The description is:
This is a class for providing access to carbon hot keys from Cocoa,
as well as acting as instances that represent particular hot key
combinations, the class object provides some methods for managing
all of the hot keys created with NDHotKeyEvent.
NDHotKeyEvent can send messages from both key down events and key up
events and there is also a informal protocol to notify the target
class when the NDHotKeyEvent instance is going to change target.
The NDHotKeyEvent project also comes with a class called
NDHotKeyControl which can be used for obtaining hot key combinations
from the user.
It sounds like NDHotKeyControl is what you want for the configuration
UI in your pref-pane.
(I haven't used any of this code; I just happened to bookmark it a few
days ago.)
