At Application launch I need to check to see if the option key was held down by the user. I would think this is simple enough but am unable to find anything in the Docs as to how to get the state of a key or what messages to listen for. I am hoping I don't have to go to Carbon to do this.

[[NSEvent currentEvent] modifierFlags] & NSAlternateKeyMask

or something

The receiver of currentEvent is the application (or a window)... and it would, at the launch time, return zero regardless the mask and keys. Alas,
the only answer's somewhere in Carbon.
