I have an application in which the user's normal OSX key bindings are meaningless, and while they are in that application I would like to detect any keyboard event. Right now I am using KeyDown, KeyUp, and FlagsChanged, but these of course are subject to the user's key bindings.

No, they're not. These deal in raw keyboard events. In fact, the key bindings technology is all about invoking action methods specific to a given key function, so almost by definition they wouldn't be keyDown:, keyUp: and flagsChanged:. Now, the key bindings stuff is done within keyDown:, but only if you so choose.

See <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/EventOverview/HandlingKeyEvents/chapter_6_section_3.html >.
