Intercepting every keystroke

Oops -- this went to the Carbon people by mistake.

Is there a way in Cocoa (okay, or Carbon) to get every keystroke, regardless of which application is active? I want to write a background application that intercepts and inspects all keystrokes (looking for certain strings or triggers) and then send most of them on to the active application.

It must be easy -- there are several applications that do this, saving the keystrokes to a file.

Jeff
