Special keystrokes recording

Hello,

For making a vnc-like app, I would like to record all keystrokes. To do this, I created a window and implemented the sendEvent: method. Everything works fine, except for very special keystrokes like command-tab or command-alt-esc.
I have conducted some research and found out that these keystrokes are reserved by the system using private functions such as CPSRegisterForKey, etc..
So, as you may have guessed, my problem is to find a solution to get these special key events. I have read that you have to kill the Dock and quickly register the key combo with the private function, but that is not a good solution and this only works for cmd-tab.
In a lot of games, the cmd-tab does not work and they surely do not kill the dock. So, surely there must be a good way to do that.

Thanks for your help !

Julien
