Hi,
I appear to be unable to receive keyboard inputs in my (64-bit) Cocoa plug-ins. That is, my keyDown is not called at any time (I tried with AULab and Logic).
Am I missing something here? Or do plug-ins not receive keyboard input?
that's up to the host. entirely up to the host, since it owns the window in which your plugin's view is displayed. there has been a little discussion about this here in the last couple of weeks. some hosts will try to deliver keyboard input all the time, some will never do it, and some will do it under certain circumstances. what the host does is going to be influenced by the way it uses keyboard input itself. if the host developer(s) use the space bar to toggle transport rolling state, and they want that to work *always*, then its rather unlikely that they will ever deliver a key event for the space bar to your plugin. etc. etc.
