How do I do this / are there examples?

Hi,

I am planning on writing an app with the following behaviour:

1. The application initially has no window present.
2. Pressing some key-combination makes its window pop up regardless of active application, much like one can configure launch-bar to work.
3. Pressing the same key-combination hides the window from view again
4. Activating some other application also hides the application-window.
5. The window can receive drags-and-drop of files


The question is how to get this window to pop up in front of everything and disappear when it is ordered back. I was also envisioning the window without the standard ornaments of a window (i.e. no title, no buttons).

However, I am a little at loss where to start. It seems the problem can be narrowed down to:

* Making a custom window (done by subclassing NSWindow?)
* Registering global hot-key(s)

Where do I start?

/Christoffer
