How can I test for a key down at launch time with Cocoa? The old event manager has functions like GetKeys() etc that lets you check if a key is down at any given time. I need something that can do this so I can check for a key down when my app launch. What I want to do is show a prefs dialog if a key is held down during launch before any other windows and stuff are set up.

I have not found anything that can do it. Is there a way to do this?


I the key in question is one of the modifier keys, you may be able to do something like this:

if (([[NSApp currentEvent] modifierFlags] & NSAlternateKeyMask) != 0)
    {
    // option-key down
    }
