I have an iTunes-like app and would like to use the spacebar for

How can I achieve this?
Also, is there anyway to put [space] in the menu item command key -
without
the command modifier?
In order:
Best solution I know of is to subclass NSApplication and catch it
in -
[NSApplication sendEvent:].
Add " space" to the title of the menu item. There is, in fact,
no other way to display it - this is what iTunes does as well.
Will this ensure no other control wants the spacebar key since any
text
fields etc. should catch it before getting to this point?
Yes. The default implementation (which you'll need to call from your
subclass) is actually what's responsible for sending events everywhere
else.
