Hmm, OK. I guess there's no harm in leaving in the KCHR handling code. I was hoping to simplify things (this routine is already big and yucky) but I guess that's just not in the cards. Nothing about this whole hotkey ordeal has been simple!

Quick question: in Leopard, are there any keyboards left which don't have a uchr?

I found some sample code which includes a fallback case for if no 'uchr' resource is found (it uses plain KeyTranslate in this case) and I'm wondering whether this is still relevant in the Leopard-and-above timeframe.

All of the keyboard layouts that Apple ships provide uchr data. However, there's nothing stopping users from installing and using third-party keyboard layouts which don't. Many of those will be users who originally installed the non-uchr keyboard layout in Tiger and then upgraded to Leopard; the layout just comes along for the ride.


This is not a hypothetical. It has been a problem we've seen with our product.

Cheers,
Ken
