As I understand it, the only thing that comes close in userland

install an event handler on the event monitor target, which was new to
Panther. However, it only lets you receive and monitor events (and
not intercept events), and in the case of privacy concerns, any key
event typed in a password text field is not sent to the event monitor,
so it's more or less useless for spyware stuff.
There are *plenty* of things typed in non-password fields that should
not be monitored...
