keybinding and getting keyDown for entire app

From reading NSResponder, it seems that keyDown events get passed down a hierarchy that ends at the key window. I want to be able to respond to any keydown that the key window doesn't handle. What's the best way to do this?

Also, I was going to create a keybinding dictionary to let the user customize these keys, but I noticed Apple has already created a system to do this. It looks like it's exactly what I want. Does anyone know if this sends action messages or just messages to the active text field? I'm trying to create something that sends action messages. Also, how would I access Apple's keybinding system?
