Deamon Question


  • Subject: Deamon Question
  • From: Bert Torfs <email@hidden>

I want to write a faceless background application that listens to all the keyboard events not handled by any other application. Whenever a given key is pressed (which key can be set with a preference panel), the deamon must open a window.
I guess this is quite common behavior (Snapz Pro does it, various application switchers do it, apple does something similar where you change the brightness or the volume...) but I do not know how. Any clues? Hints? Sample code? Links to documentation?
Thanks,

Bert
