I just discovered
override func keyDown(with event: NSEvent) { }
override func keyUp(with event: NSEvent) {}
NSEvent.addLocalMonitorForEvents(matching: .keyUp) { (aEvent) -> NSEvent? in
self.keyUp(with: aEvent)
return aEvent
}
NSEvent.addLocalMonitorForEvents(matching: .keyDown) { (aEvent) ->
NSEvent? in
self.keyDown(with: aEvent)
return aEvent
}
So I have it working now without subclassing NSView, etc. It took me a
while to find that bit about NSEvent.addLocalMonitorForEvents...
