Hi All
I there a way to detect, on a system wide basis, that the dim/
brightness keys (or volume keys) have been pressed?
I tried using the event-tap API using a HID + head based intercept,
running as root with assistive access switched on, but even that
doesn't receive the events.
My aim is to write a little util that swaps the function keys
depending on which app is running (i.e. so that during certain apps
you don't have to use the FN key on the laptop to get F1). So I need
to have the ability to modify the event stream - e.g. exactly what
event taps provides.
The only fly in the soup so far is that the brightness (F1 and F2 as
well as the volume keys) are not seen by the event tap spike program
that Ive written.
Looking forward to any tips - thanks.
