I wouldn't expect you to get even the "k" character with that code by itself. To type a character requires posting a key down event AND a key up event with the same keycode. So add these two lines at the end of your code: CGEventSetType(event, kCGEventKeyDown); CGEventPost(kCGHIDEventTap, event); Or simply create a separate keyboard event with false in the keyDown parameter and post it. Also, you might have better luck with one of the other tap locations, such as kCGSessionEventTap. I believe the kCGHIDEventTap location requires you to run as root or it doesn't work. To identify the valid keycodes for your keyboard, get one of the Key Code utililties that are floating around on the Web.
