You can look at the modifier flags and/or detect the unicode code
space being used.
With that said if you are trying to process text input into text
fields using NSEvents you really should reconsider if at all possible.
You will miss out on the text input capabilities that Cocoa provides
to you for free when you use standard AppKit controls or higher level
text input constructs.
